You’ll Need:

  • Craft sticks (three per spiderweb)
  • Black, orange or white paint or paint marker
  • Black, orange or white yarn
  • Small plastic spiders or spider stickers
  • Silver or gold glitter glue (optional)
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush

Instructions:

  1. Create the base of your spiderweb by gluing together three wooden craft sticks. Make an “X” shape with two of the sticks and place the third stick in the middle of the “X” vertically.
  2. Paint the cluster in any Halloween-inspired color you’d like. Add glitter glue for extra sparkle.
  3. Once dry, take a ball of yarn and tie a knot around the end of one stick. Then, slowly unwind the yarn and wrap it around the sticks to create a web. Helpful hint: The pattern does not need to match perfectly. Let little ones have fun spinning their web in various directions.
  4. When you’ve finished, cut the yarn and glue the loose end to the stick.
  5. After, cut one additional piece of string to glue to the spiderweb, so it can hang as décor.
  6. As a finishing touch, glue on fake plastic spiders or add spider stickers.
