Black Widow Decor: Spider Party Decorations

Decorating for your Halloween spider theme party should be fairly straight forward. First, of course, you will need lots and lots of cobwebs. The trick to using this webbing material is to spread it out very thinly and carefully, so that it looks light and gauzy, not thick and lumpy. Buy an assortment of different sizes of plastic spiders and place them here and there on the webs. Hang a few dropping down from the ceiling as well.

Drape the cobwebs over lampshades (be careful not to get them near the lightbulbs), across doorways and along windows. Add some to table decorations as well, but don't overdo. Use a light touch to make it more authentic. Additional decor suggstions are:

Spider Web Luminaries

Materials Needed:

1 tin can
1 awl punch or nail
1 hammer
1 pattern of a spider web
1 tea light or votive candle in a glass container

Instructions:

Draw out a spider web pattern on two sides of the tin can using a fine marker or pencil. Fill the tin can with water and freeze until solid. Once frozen, use a nail or an awl punch and hammer to create small holes along the "web" design. Thaw the can and dump out the water. Dry the inside. Add the candle and you're done. Make several of these and use them to light the walkway up to your house.

Spider Tree Centerpiece

Materials Needed:

1 small tree branch (use a dead branch)
1 medium size terra cotta planting pot
Black paint and a wide brush
White or silver paint and a thin brush
Floral foam
1 package of spider webbing
Package of small plastic spiders
Black thread or clear fishing line

Instructions:

Paint the pot using the black paint and a wide brush. Let dry. Draw a spider web design on the pot with a pencil and outline using the thin brush and white or silver paint. Let dry.

Cut the floral foam to fit in the pot. Stick the tree branch into the floral foam. Carefully drape the webbing along some of the branches. Add the spiders to the webbing. Let some dangle by attaching the thread to the spider and tying to some branches. Finish it off by covering the top of the floral foam with a load of spiders (you may want to hot-glue these down into place.)

Spider Candles

Materials Needed:

2 black or orange taper candles
2 black plastic spiders
2 sewing straight pins
1 jar black acrylic crafters paint
1 thin, narrow painting brush
2 candle holders

Instructions:

Near the bottom third of the candle, carefully paint a spider web pattern using the black paint and brush. Let dry. Using a straight pin, push one through each spider's body and into the candles along the web pattern. Place the candles in candle holders and add some webbing to the holders for extra effect. If you light the candles, keep an eye on them so you can blow them out before they burn down to the paint and spiders.
