Sinister Spiders and Webs
Make a collection of spiders for your haunted house, and don't forget the spider webs!

I don't know why spiders and Halloween go together so well, but you won't find me complaining. Spiders are fun decorations that are easy to make. You can make a wide variety of spiders in all shapes and sizes with things you just might have laying around your house.

You can create tiny spiders out of clay or pom-poms, and the hugest of spiders using black garbage bags! One of these years, I want to create a spider large enough to perch on my roof with legs that touch the ground! Here are some spiders, ranging from small to large for you to make:

Paper Mache Spider

Garbage Bag Spider

Even More Spider Crafts

Once you have your spiders made, don't forget about the spider webs. There is nothing better than a $1.99 package of spider webs to give your haunted house an authentic touch!

We use them inside and out. We have them connecting one tombstone to another. Our staircase immediately looks spooky with spider web woven through the spindles. A bag of these lasts forever too! It is well worth the $1.99 investment.
