The paper spider requires 2 square sheets of paper, that you later cut in half to form two 1:2 ratio sheets. It is held together by 1 standard sized staple, but can also be held together with a pipe cleaner, rubber band, glue, or a piece of string. I used two black Post-it Notes because that was the only black paper I had, but you can feel free to use regular origami paper, construction paper, copy paper, old magazines, or whatever you want. Dangle from a string to make this paper craft extra creepy. :-)

On 6/30/14, Jeremy Shafer and I met at the Origami Convention in the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. We had some lunch, grabbed some smoothies, and made our way to Madison Square Park, where we filmed this origami badminton birdie tutorial. We quickly discovered that we couldn't film and play origami badminton at the same time, so we sought the help from people sitting at a nearby park bench. (THANKS A BUNCH, if you're watching, by the way! You were a great audience!). We had lots of fun filming this for sure. Watch Jeremy's version of this video here (a few deleted scenes) A special thanks to Jeremy Shafer, for a great time, the hand whistling lesson (ha!), the video editing, and for just being AWESOME! Don't forget to subscribe to Jeremy's Channel. You won't regret it! He folds origami, juggles, unicycles, beat-boxes, hand whistles, plays piano, makes balloon animals, and who knows what else?! Jeremy and me. And no, we're not going out! (Someone asked that). Just because we take a picture together, doesn't mean we're a couple, LOL! :-P Holding a HUGE dinosaur at the Origami Convention. Don't know who folded or designed this, but it made me smile, so I posed for a photo. Thanks, Jeremy, for your photography! ;)
