DIY Spider Web Halloween decor
It would make for a great Halloween decoration indeed and is something that works both indoors and outside. There are a couple of ways you can go on this one. You can either create that ultra-messy and intricately spooky look with a crazy web design or go for the more modern, clean and colorful look. It all depends on the theme that you are going for.
The first step is to pick the points where the skeleton arms of the web and this will determine the size of your spider web. Pick wider points if you wish to create a really large and complex design. From here on, you start with neatly adding the web rings to the basic outline. Creating a spider’s web like this takes just a few hours and is a great DIY Halloween idea to share with your kids.
