Floral Giant Spider

Project designed by Jon Fong.

Materials:

2 Protea
approximately 40 red mums
8 pussy willows
6" plastic plate
1 brick of floral foam
florist tape
floral shears

1. Carve floral foam into an oval (figure A).

2. Place the foam on top of a plastic plate, and attach it with floral tape.

3. Cover the floral foam with red mums.

   Note: The angled method was used to attach these flowers (figure B).

4. Use two Protea (a tropical flower) as the eyes (figure C).

   Tip: If protea isn't available for the eyes, any type of flower or vegetation that can pass as eyes will work — daisies, pincushions, even mushrooms.

5. Cut eight pieces of pussy willow so that they are about 2-1/2' long. Then bend the pussy willows in half so that they crack a little to make the spider's legs.

   Tip: If you can't find pussy willow, try horsetail or long, thin branches.

6. Insert the legs into the body.
