Draw two concentric circles on the cardboard with the compass.
The sizes will depend on how big you want the pom poms.
Cut them and make another one exactly the same using the first as your reference.
Then make a cut on a side of both circles like this:
Next, put them together with the open cut in opposite directions like this:
Then I made a small ball of wool that would go through the center hole of the circle.
Started wrapping the circular cardboards with the yarn. It doesn’t matter if it’s not enough you can always make another ball and keep going. Make sure to wrap yarn enough to stuff the circle up.
When it’s done, find the cardboard separation, and with a pair of sharp scissors right between the 2 cardboard, carefully cut the wool following the shape. You can also use a cutter for this.
Then cut a strip of wool slide it between both cardboards and make a tight knot securing the bunch of wool together.
Next, remove the cardboard pieces carefully.
Trim as needed to make the pom pom even.
And here you have the first large black pom-pom!
Then cut some strips of black cardstock at a wide angle like these:
With a hot glue gun, glue 4 of them to both sides at the center of the pom pom.
And the final touch is putting on some googly eyes!
Done!!! You got yourself a cute spider!
You can put them on your Halloween decor, and hang them from the ceiling, mantel, or windows.
