Fun Spider Craft for Kids: Spider Web Hand Sewing Activity

Materials Needed for Spider Web Craft

  • Embroidery hoop
  • Black fabric
  • White thread (for thicker lines, you can use embroidery floss)
  • Embroidery needle
  • Pipe cleaners, felt, plastic spider ring, or whatever else you might want to use to make your spider – this is your project, so make it uniquely yours!


Directions for Hand Sewing Spider Craft for Kids

1. Place the black fabric into an embroidery hoop.

2. Thread the needle, making sure to put in a knot in the center to hold it in place.

3. Using hand sewing, put in straight lines to form the supporting web structure. This will look something like a big asterisk, a star, or two X’s that both meet in one similar center.

This is some very simple hand sewing and it doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, that’s what makes this a low-stress project. But, if you need some tips for hand sewing with kids, here they are.

4. Next comes the fun part! Children will stitch in the circular parts of the web. These could be close together, far apart, concentric, or totally random. Just make sure that the new lines touch the existing ones (the star/asterisk shape).

5. Finally, add a spider to your design. The beauty of this activity is that each completed project will look as unique as an actual spider’s web!
