Below are the main steps. We also prepared some tools that you may need to use. Please watch the tutorial video for making DIY scary spider box.

Step 1: Decide your preferred box size, use a ruler to make the marks, and cut the wood panel into 6 pieces. It should be 4 long pieces, and 2 short pieces.

Step 2: Use a sander to smooth all the edges. Here we used the same tool as step 1 by switching the header. Also, don’t forget to pick a long piece to be the lid. We need to make the edges thinner so they can fit in the grooves later.

Step 3: Pick two long pieces of wood panel and use the mini grinder to make the grooves. Don’t make it too big, or the panels might be easily broken.

Step 4: Drill the holes in those two side panels with grooves at the corresponding position. The holes are for the shaft!

Step 5: Drill the cork, cut the steel wire into the needed length, and insert the wire into the cork.

Step 6:  Now, attach the fake spider.

Step 7: Assemble the box with the hammer and nails (or glue it)

Step 8. Tire the fishing wire on the shaft, so when you pull the string, the shaft should be able to move.

Step 9: Use a nail to attach the handle to the lid. Slide the lid in. Bind the string to the nail from inside.

Step 10:  Check the size of the last panel and fix the size. Nailed it!
