(quart-size milk carton, yarn, construction paper, rickrack, cotton ball, paper cup, poster paint)
1.  Measure 2 inches from the bottom of a quart-size milk carton, and draw a line around the outside of the carton. Cut along the line to make a small square box.
2.  To create the web, poke eight holes around the sides of the box—one in each corner and one in the middle of each side. Tie a knot at one end of a long piece of yarn, and wrap a piece of tape around the other. Thread the taped end through the holes, as shown in the diagram, tying a knot in the yarn at the last hole. Take another piece of yarn, and loop it under and over the piece woven through the holes. Glue paper to the outside of the box and add rickrack.
3.  For the body of the spider, dip a cotton ball into a small paper cup of water and poster paint. Squeeze the water out of the cotton ball and let dry. Separate a small piece of yarn into eight small strands. Glue the strands of yarn to the back of the cotton ball, letting the yarn hang down for legs. Add paper eyes and a mouth.
4.  Glue the spider to the center of the web and wrap a few legs around the web.
