2. Bleeding candle with nails

1. Spread the bag out and cut it along the longer side.

3. Next, cut the sides of the triangle forming a “Christmas tree” shape.
4. Spread the prepared cut-out and put the spiderweb on a window or a wall.
5. In order to make a spider, bond two pompons together with a glue gun and stick pipe cleaners legs to them.
