Happy Monday everyone! :) I just recently whipped up this super easy (and cheap!) outdoor Halloween decoration for the house, posted a pic on Facebook, and all of a sudden my inbox was flooded with comments from people letting me know how much they loved it! I figured I would post a pic here as well, with a quick tutorial on what I did. Unfortunately I didn't take step by step pics along the way... Sorry about that! It's really such an easy project to do, there's not much that can go wrong! :)
So first of all, the only supplies needed for the spider web are a roll of black electrical tape (57 cents at Walmart!) and scissors! I decided to make my own spider out of construction paper (and laminated it so it could go outside) but any spider would work! A 3D one would be kind of cool too! My sister made her spider out of construction paper as well, but she put hers on the inside of the window since she didn't have a laminator. Like I said, put your own spin on it! Anything goes!
I started on the outer edge of the window when making my 6 lines for the web, and had them all meet in the middle. I wanted my "center" to be off-center because I didn't want it to look too symmetrical.
Next I started near the intersection of all the lines and I just began to wind my tape around and around and around, to form the web! It was hard to turn the tape as you wound it around, so I ended up using scissors and cut each section separately. I made sure that each line was not spaced exactly the same, and just let it take its own course!
In the end I put a long piece of tape from the top of the window going down, and attached my spider at the bottom so it looks like he's hanging out by his web. :)
Hope you enjoy it! Happy Halloween!
