Halloween Orb Spider Web Craft


This is a really cool looking 3d Halloween spider web craft that adds a lot to your Halloween atmosphere. It's a little bit messy to make, but great fun.

Materials:

  • white yarn
  • balloon
  • glue
  • water
  • large bowl
  • pin
  • plastic spiders

Directions:
  1. Mix glue and water in a large bowl.
  2. Blow up a balloon and tie.
  3. Cut a very long length of yarn and soak it in the glue mixture and wrap around the balloon. Allow to dry completely.
  4. Pop the balloon with a pin and remove the pieces.
  5. Add some plastic spiders and hang up.

Alternative: Instead, you could wrap the balloon in dry yarn first, and then roll around in a bowl of liquid starch for the same effect.

  1. Very cool Idea. I have the kids use newsprints dipped in water/white glue to make masks but I like this to continue the idea. May also modify by using green yarn to make a "hanging garden"
