DIY Halloween Costume: Spider
It won't be difficult to find the supplies for this fun yet creepy costume. (Some of them might even be in your closet already!)

This adorably creepy costume works well for any age. Crawling kiddos look especially creepy in this costume! If you have sewing skills, you can use a sewing machine in place of the hot glue gun.

2. Using a hot glue gun, attach two socks to each side of the hoodie, placing one sock just below the armpit and another just above the hem of the sweatshirt.

3. String the spider sock legs together by hot gluing the black yarn to the back of the first sock, then along the back of the second sock and sweatshirt arm. The yarn should form a straight line from one leg to the next. Be sure to leave a bit of space between each leg.
4. Repeat Step 3 on the opposite side of the sweatshirt.

5. Wear the black mittens, sweatpants, shoes and glasses to complete the look.
