Place the first hose on the side of the hay bale near the top. Run a zip tie through the holes you drilled and wrap the ties around the wire that surrounds your hay bale. Repeat this for all three holes and then trim the zip ties with a wire cutter.

Place four drainage hoses on one side of the hay bale and four on the opposite side. These are your spider's legs.

Spray paint eyes and a face on the side of your hay bale to represent the spider's face. You can use red to make scary eyes or white to make a more friendly looking spider.
