Makeup
- Draw a small web of thin white lines on one cheek with face paint.
- Add two small dots above the brows for extra eyes.
- Smudge a little black eyeliner under the eyes for a shadowy look.
Hair: Pull hair back into a ponytail or bun so the head and hood stay clear and tidy.

- Wear the black pants or jeans.
- Stuff four old black socks or tights and pin them to each side for extra legs.
- Add optional glowing lights, gloves and face paint.
Two variations
Glow Spider
Wrap glow tape along the sleeves so the legs shine in the dark.
Garden Spider
Add a green headband with two small pom-pom eyes and green tights for legs.
Safety note
Use skin-safe face paint and eyeliner with a patch test first. Pin extra legs securely and keep them short so they do not catch on doors or cause trips.
