DIY spider decorations
1. DIY giant spider
Get ready to conquer your arachnophobia with this DIY giant spider! Using basic materials like pool noodles, an exercise ball, and strong tape, Geonna shows you how to create an adorably eerie giant spider for your backyard.
Use black tape to attach the pool noodle legs to the spider's body, add stripes to the legs just like a tarantula, then paint the spider's head and eyes. Transform your surroundings and embrace the frightful fun!
2. Macramé rope spiderweb
Next, Kelly-n-Tony show us how to create an easy DIY Halloween spiderweb using macrame rope, perfect for adding a spooky touch to your decor.
Simply knot and staple the rope to form a plus (+) sign as the base web, then add an X across it, securing the ends. Start the inner web by knotting and moving in a circle, gradually expanding outward. Attach bendy-legged spiders to complete the look.
This cost-effective project adds a festive flair to your Halloween setup, making it a fun and kid-friendly addition.
3. Spiderweb wreath
This minimal and spooky DIY spiderweb wreath by Megann uses a metal hoop and cotton. Stretch the cotton across the hoop, securing it with hot glue on the back. Glue plastic spiders onto the web for added effect. Wrap twine around the top of the hoop and tie it to create a hanging loop. Hang the wreath to enjoy your easy and festive Halloween decor. No flower-arranging skills are required!
4. Upcycled plastic bottle spider
For a Halloween party, Cindy @ Upcycle Design Lab crafted a spider decoration using upcycled materials. Plastic bottles formed the spider's body, which Cindy fused together and textured with a stencil cutter.
Legs were created from plastic straws, and after fusing them to the body, she painted the whole spider with primer and black craft paint. Bottle caps served as eyes, completing the look.
5. Spider vase
Get ahead of Halloween decorations with this easy DIY spiderweb vase by Kelli @CraftShackChronicles. Start with a glass vase from the dollar store, draw your design with a marker, trace the lines with hot glue, then spray paint the vase with flat black paint. Add dollar store Halloween accessories like creepy cloth, flowers, and a spider to complete the spooky look.
6. Giant PVC pipe spider
Get into the spooky spirit with a DIY spider yard decoration crafted from PVC pipe, made by Ashleigh Sommer. Using materials like PVC pipes, elbows, a water jug, electrical tape, spray paint, liquid nails, cardboard, and googly eyes, follow these steps to create your own eerie arachnid.
Begin by measuring and cutting the pipe for the legs, then assemble the body by attaching a water jug to a smaller pipe with electrical tape and layering it with a towel and garbage bag. After spray-painting the legs and elbow pieces, securely connect them to the body using liquid nails and cardboard for reinforcement.
Strengthen the connections with electrical tape, wrap the body with felt fabric for a polished appearance, and finally, affix googly eyes to bring your spider to life. The cost of the project may vary depending on the materials used, but this DIY spider decoration offers a thrifty way to enhance your Halloween decor.
