Easy DIY Spiderman/Ironman Tentacles

in Blog, DIY, Holidays, Make it with Mimi on 25/10/21

My g-kid is going to be Spiderman/Ironman from Spider-Verse.  Only problem his mom couldn’t find the tentacles that his character has.  So with a little help from Mimi we made it happen. Here are the directions.  Here is the list of what you’ll need.  Newspaper, Elmer’s Glue, Glue Gun, Cardboard, Duct Tape, Gold Paint, and a Color Printer for the Logo.  It’s pretty easy and as you can see it only cost a few dollars.

First I tightly rolled up six newspaper for each leg.  I started at the corner of a sheet of newspaper and rolled diagonally so it was about 36″ long.

Next, I took some strips and folded them about 1 inch wide.  I then bent the tentacles and made joints and wrapped each joint with the folded strips to give them some bulk.

I then took wide strips of newspaper and covered one side with glue.  I completely wrapped each tentacle and made sure the tip was pointed.

I cut out 3 squares with extensions like in the photo (the extensions are for attaching the legs).  I hot glued 2 squares together and made cuts like in the second photo.  I took braided webbing and put one piece through the 2 straight bottom slits – these are for the belt.  I then insert the webbing through one side of the diagonal slits went around the belt webbing and then back through the other side of diagonal slits.  Last I made a loop and slide through the front side of the belt. This created the harness so it was easy to take off.  I painted then added a leg to each extension with lots of duct tape.  (You can add heavy wire to reinforce the tentacles.  The last step was to add the last piece of cardboard to cover the webbing and secure the tentacles.

I wrapped all of the cardboard in lots of duct tape and then printed a logo I found online and glued the logo to the back.

This was all the family spidermen from Spider-Verse.  How cute are they?

Oh, hi there!

I like to describe myself as a woman of leisure but in reality I’m Mr. B’s project manager. It’s not a bad gig and it does come with many benefits. I plan our trips, as we travel the world. I'm kept busy creating and designing our beautiful homes. The best perk is I usually chose the movie we see every Friday. I’m a part-time artist, with aspirations of becoming a full-time artist. Painting, photography and all types of crafting are my true loves. I like to say I’m an artist of many mediums and master of none.
My finest creations would be my five children. I’ve also allow them to parent my thirteen amazing grandchildren. My grandchildren are all brilliant, beautiful, spirited and take after me – their Mimi.

Stay updated!
