How to make a Spider Bun for Halloween
When my daughter was in elementary school, I did the spider hair bun on her for school. They couldn’t have costumes, but it was good old Halloween fun in a subtle way. (I’m not sure why we didn’t make a Halloween shirt too?! haha)

How easy it is to make a Spider Bun for Halloween:
First: I glued 2 larger eyes to a bobby pin.
Second: Put her hair in a bun.
Third: I bent the legs 2 times, creating a leg look to them.
Lastly: We simply tucked the pipe cleaners in the bun, and they stayed all day. I did 3 on each side.

What a cute idea. Definitely need to do this for Halloween.
I can’t wait for my daughters hair to grow longer to do this. Hopefully next year!
This is awesome! Somehow I’m always looking for something last minute. Love how quick this project is.
Ok, now you’ve really got me in trouble! LOL!! My 5 year old grandson (who happens to LOVE spiders) saw the picture of the spider bun on this post & asked me if I would “please make that & wear it for Halloween Nene. Please!” Here’s the pickle. I’d do anything for this child BUT I hate spiders!! I don’t care if they’re fake, real, or make believe spiders, I can’t stand even the thought of them!! So, now my precious boy wants me to wear a facsimile of one in my hair? YIKES! I think I’ll tell him my hair isn’t long enough or something like that. Maybe I’ll go make some funny ghost or googly eyes on a headband & wear them. Do you think he’ll be distracted well enough to forget about the spider hairdo? Unfortunately, I doubt it. Hope you get a good laugh out of this one!
HAHA! Oh no…. I’ll support your hair isn’t long enough but this did give me a chuckle!
Thank you so much!
