SO cute! Last year, i turned my baby carrier into a spider by adding tube sock legs stuffed with poly fil (socks from dollar tree). I added google eyes to the front, so my baby was the spider, then I dressed as the web in a lacy top wrapped with cotton spider web stuff.
Love that idea! Do you have a picture?!
