1. Blow up water balloons to make spider eggs.

- The yarn will be hard when it’s dry.
6. Pop balloons and remove them from the spider egg craft.
- Use a sewing needle, scissors, or a sharp knife to pop the balloon inside each spider egg.
- Gently remove the popped balloons from the inside of the spider crafts.

Spider Egg Craft Photo Tutorial
It became a challenge to take pictures when my daughter and I made spider egg sacs because the glue was all over our hands! However, the spider egg sac photo tutorial below demonstrates how to wrap each balloon with yarn.
In my daughter’s excitement to pop the balloons once our spider eggs were dry, she forgot to allow mommy to take pictures of them when they were hanging to dry–doh!! The best way to dry spider egg sac crafts is to tie a piece of yarn to the balloon’s knot. Then, hang the spider egg craft to dry for about 24 hours.
