Mason Jar Spider Craft

Mason Jar Spider Craft

This mason jar spider craft is so freaking fun you guys!

My boys have been getting crafty lately and had a blast making this spider candy holder for Halloween this year.  It’s super cute and totally easy to make.

We are slightly spider obsessed around here as proven by this dancing spider craft, this snap lid spider craft and this spiderman cake.  Clearly we love our spider crafts so it made total sense to create this cute mason jar spider to hold all of our Halloween candy this year.

This spider craft would make the perfect addition to Halloween decorating!  I could totally see this guy on a teachers desk, filled with candy.

My favorite feature is the crap ton of googly eyes, or maybe it’s the bendy legs?!  I dunno, it’s all pretty cute if you ask me.

My son Cam is addicted to Reese’s peanut butter cups so he was especially thrilled to be a part of this spider craft photo shoot.  He’s been eating Reese’s candy ever since.
