Spider costume for childs Christmas play

Sandeze

Hi all,
My 6 year old daughter came home the other day with a letter from school, which states that she needs a spider costume for her Christmas play. Both myself and my wife have looked on the internet, rang fancy dress shops but to no avail, please can anyone help.
My wife is not creative so please don't ask her to make one.
Regards
Jeff

I know you said not creative but really this is simple!

Dress your daughter in a black long sleeved t-shirt/jumper and black leggings/thick black tights. Then cut the tops of two pairs of black tights, stuff them with newspaper tie a knot in the top of each and safety pin to your daughter! You could also glue black pipe cleaners to a headband to make antennae

Thanks for the tip, sounds simple, I am sure between my wife and myself we can do this.
