YES they are and your kids can help to!!!
Here they are:
What I used:
Plastic cups for the body
Pipe cleaners for the feet(chenille stems)
Buttons for the eyes
Fabric Flowers
Colored Foam for the neckties
Red Yarn for the mouth (for the spider above I used a red paper clip)
Black Paint (for the spider above I used a sharpie)
Hot Glue
Tutorial:
Paint the cup
I only painted the bottom portion. Cut the cup down in size keeping the bottom portion.
Cut the Pipe cleaners in half and the fold them in half. Hole punch 4 holes on each side of the cup for a total of 8 holes. Feed the Pipe cleaners through two hole at the same time.
Put a little hot glue around the Pipe cleaners on the inside of the cup to give the legs more stability.
Bend the legs to your liking.
Add the eyes, mouth, and flower or bowtie.
Here’s where they have invaded for right now!!! Just an FYI I think I like the way the spider that I used the sharpie on the best (the spider in the very first picture). I like how it’s shiny.

I know they're a bit out of season now, but I'm definitely trying this with my daughter. We need some summer activities and she LOVES creepy crawly anything...especially spiders! Thanks for sharing this idea.
