Finishing

Put the little orange/black round on the bottom of the jar

Make a little hole in the lid of the jar. Secure a long grey yarn to your spider. Take the other side of the yarn and pull it through the hole. Now make a knot, to secure the spider. Make sure he is hanging and not touching the bottom of the jar.

Cut a little piece of halloween fabric and put it over the lid. Secure it into place with a ribbon or use of a string of 70 ch st in black yarn. At the end of the string or the ribbon, secure the two little pompoms.

Happy Halloween!
