Instructions

Maybe your kiddo wasn't bitten by a radioactive spider, but your love-bug will be wrapped in a web of comfort in our Primary DIY Spider-Verse costume. This super-simple Halloween look would make Peter Parker proud!

For a red felt covering for the hood:

  • Flatten out the hood of hoodie and trace the hood shape onto a sheet of red felt and cut out, leaving an extra ½” along the top and back edge of the hood for the seam allowance.
  • Trace and cut out another matching hood panel from red felt. Hot glue the top and back edges together and turn inside out. You now have a cover for the hood.

    For the head eyes:

    • Cut two ovals from black felt and two smaller felt ovals that fit on top for the eyes and glue together.
    • Use a fine tipped black fabric squeeze paint to make the spiderweb design onto the red felt hood. Once dry, glue the eyes onto the hood.

      For the snout:

      • Cut an oval from red felt and use a fine tipped black fabric squeeze paint to make the spiderweb design onto the snout.
      • Cut two small black ovals and two smaller white ovals for the nostrils and glue together.
      • Glue the nostrils onto the snout once the paint is dry and glue onto the front edge of the red hood.

        For the ears:

        • Cut two sets of pointy ears from red felt and sandwich a pipe cleaner between each and glue together. Bend the ears to flop like Spider-Ham’s and glue to the top of the red hood.
        • Attach the red hood over the blue hoodie hood with double sided fabric tape.

          For the chest, sleeves, and legs:

          • Cut red felt strips for the sleeves, a rectangle with wings on the bottom edge for the chest, and two rectangles for the legs.
          • Use a fine tipped black fabric squeeze paint to make the spiderweb design and spider onto felt.
          • Once dry, attach to hoodie and bottoms with double sided fabric tape.
