Step 1

First you need to make the legs. Decide how big or small you would like to make your body.  Then make two cuts about 1 cm apart up to that point  and cut a cross the top so you have cut out a section for the front.

Now repeat for the opposite side of the toilet paper roll for the back.

Step 2

It’s time to create the legs. On each section cut up to the body three times to make four legs on each side.

Fold the legs up so the are flat against the body of the spider.  Then fold them down half way for the first joint.
