Introduction
This project is easy and inexpensive and certainly one in which the kids can help. We took a thrift-store frame, wrapped the inside with yarn and cotton to make it look like a spider web. Then spiders and a "welcome" message were hung within the webbing.
Step 1
Paint Frame
Paint the frame black and let it dry.
Step 2
Nail and Pad the Back
On the back of the frame, along the edge, hammer in the small wire nails. Insert the nails so only about a 1/4" is sticking out of the frame.
Place the felt pads on the back of the frame along the corners so the nails will not scratch the house or door.
Step 3
Create the Web
Wrap the yarn on the wires going back and forth across the frame in a random pattern. Tie off the yarn periodically.
Step 4
Add Cobwebs
Behind the yarn, stretch out some of the white cotton material along the same nails.
Step 5
Place Your Message
Place the letters in a random pattern onto the yarn, close enough together so you can read the word "welcome". We used self-adhesive, store-bought letters, but you can print out your own message on sticky paper.
Step 6
Add Spiders
Place the spiders along the front and tuck into the yarn and webbing.
