DIY Framed Spiderweb

*This post contains affiliate links.  My thoughts are my own and I only feature items I believe in and trust.

My daughter is obsessed with Halloween spiders.  She sneaks those small plastic ones in her pants pocket and takes them to pre-school with her.  Ummm, she did not learn this from me.  I am not a lover of spiders.  I have grown more brave since I have grown a garden.  Those naughty little daddy long legs like to sneak out while I am trying to weed, hence the lack of weeding in my garden.  But who am I if not a wonderful mother who wants to make life size spider webs for my sweet girl? This is a  quick project you can make in a short amount of time.  The best part about it, you can reuse an old picture frame or pick up one at a thrift store.  Would you believe me if I said I always have some stashed in my closet.  I NEVER get rid of a frame.  You never know when you’ll need it!

Supplies:

• Picture frame
• Staple gun
• Yarn
• Paint

So, out I went to sit on my porch and create as few spider webs to add to my decor.  I will tell you right now, if you don’t have an electric staple gun, GO GET ONE NOW.  They are lovely, and really quite reasonable priced.  I purchased mine from Amazon, and you can find one here.

The first thing I did was paint my frame.  The bright red just didn’t go with my style.

Don’t be surprised, I painted it white

I stapled the yarn onto the back of the frame.  Sometimes I need to secure the yarn by tapping on the staple with a hammer.

I pulled the yarn taut and stapled the other side and cut it off.

Add a few more lines of yarn, all intersecting each other.

I then start at the center.  I cut a piece of yarn and began tying it tightly to each strand, creating a crooked looking hexagram.  6 sides right?

I then repeat the process as many times as needed.

When you are done adding web layers, you are done.  I think they are a great addition to my front porch!

Give it a try!  I kind of love adding fun Halloween decor with a little style.  Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it to!  I have been a busy little bee since coming back from vacation.  I have tons of fun ideas to feature here so stick around and check back!  I’m not done with Halloween and Fall yet, but oh boy do I have some great Christmas ideas coming up!
