DIY web and spiders
A web with spiders is a simple and effective room decoration for Halloween, especially if you are planning a party with guests and you need to create the appropriate atmosphere.
The most obvious option is to wind woolen threads in the form of a web on the wall, securing them with push pins. First you need to secure the warp threads (diagonal), and then wind the thread in a circle.
You can attach a web thread to a plastic disposable plate, populate it with a cardboard spider and hang it on the chandelier.
The basis for the web can be the crosshairs of any sticks, for example, thin branches or ice cream sticks.
A web can be cut out of paper or oilcloth using the same principle as a snowflake for the New Year.
You can either buy ready-made spiders for Halloween as a decoration on a web or as an independent decoration, or you can make a craft with your own hands. It could be just a figure cut out of cardboard or a three-dimensional version.
These cute spiders can be made from the same plastic plates. The materials you will need are chenille (fluffy handmade wire) and eyes for toys of different sizes.
But such a not only funny, but also tasty spider can be made from lollipop and chenille:
A more complex design is the glamorous spider made from a decorative mesh shaped like a bubo.
You can make this cute spider with your own hands from two foam balls of different sizes.
And another version of a spider made from a ball, this time wrapped in acrylic thread.
A very simple to create, but impressive looking spider - made from a black ball with paper legs. It may well frighten a guest who enters the room!
Halloween crafts from toilet paper rolls
Rolls (tubes) remaining after use toilet paper- excellent material for children's creativity. From it you can make figures of any animals and birds, and for Halloween - monsters, mummies and bats.
To create such mummies, you don’t need anything other than toilet paper and eyes. Wrap the roll of paper in in no particular order, glue the eyes - the mummy is ready!
As for creating monsters, here you can fully express your imagination.
The same applies to making witches, ghosts and bats - no instructions are needed to make them.
Well, if you don’t have any extra rolls lying around at home or there isn’t enough material to fulfill all your fantasies, use empty juice boxes as an alternative.
Candlesticks
An original decoration for your Halloween room will be a craft in the form of a candlestick. Making it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Take a glass container (jar) and stick thematic figures cut out of paper (witch, bat, pumpkin, spider, cobweb, etc.) on the outside. Place a candle at the bottom of the jar, light it - the lamp will effectively light up.
You can apply a drawing with a marker, and paint the container with any color - then the lamps will glow different shades and will look monstrously gorgeous in a dark room. Boooo!
You can wrap the jar in gauze and glue on the eyes - you’ll get a mummy lamp.
Wrap the jars with thread and plant spiders on them - again we return to the theme of the web.
Fairy lights
A holiday craft option that offers unlimited scope for imagination. After all, you can hang anything on a garland!
Paper ghosts.
Skeletons, black cats and bats.
Skulls and ghosts made from felt.
Faces of monsters and witches.
Balls made from threads in the shape of “sugar loaves”.

Halloween wreath
A wreath on a door or wall is a very popular home decoration. Nowadays such wreaths are made for many holidays - and Halloween is no exception. As a blank, you can use a circle made of cardboard, plywood or a foam circle - they are sold in handicraft stores.
You can make such funny monsters if you tie a lot of tulle strips tightly in knots on the workpiece.
The tradition of celebrating Halloween has recently entered the lives of Russians. But this interesting, original holiday is never complete without a sea of impressions. One of the main attributes of home decorations is not only pumpkins, but also cobwebs. A DIY Halloween spider web is quite simple. To do this, there are several techniques from the most different materials.
We knit decor
You can crochet a very beautiful decorative web, which will add an appropriate ambiance to the setting. Having real cobwebs in the corners is not very pleasant, but such an openwork thing will definitely become the envy of your skill. If you have sufficient knowledge, you can knit such a product.
To work on more easy option you will need a hook (in the example we used No. 8470) and yarn. You can choose any color, but the material is suitable with a large amount of polyester. You will notice the difference already when attaching it to the wall, because the material will stretch perfectly. Therefore, the span of the web will take about 30-35 cm, depending on the tension of the threads.
The process will not take much time if you know how to handle a crochet hook. For those who are not new to this business, we can suggest replacing the first column in each row with air loops. This way your web will become not only more voluminous, but also more realistic.
- 1st row: 12 tbsp. with a ring over it.
- 2nd row: 12 tbsp. yarn over and between each stitch there are 2 air loops.
- 3rd row: 12 tbsp. and between them there are 3 air. P.
- 4th row: 12 double crochets and 5 chain stitches between each stitch.
- 5 row: 12 tbsp. with 3 yarn overs, 9 ch between loops.
- Row 6: 12 st. with 4 yarn overs, 11 chain stitches between each.
- Row 7: 12 st. with double crochets, 15 ch between each.
It turns out a neat, small web on which you can attach its owner, also made from scrap materials, beads, threads, etc. But this is only an approximate size. You can continue knitting as needed.
Sturdy and reliable
There are several options for making a web from wire. For the first one, you will need several branches, which can be found even in the city strip.
Connect them in the middle with wire, and then continue the spiral weaving from the center, securing the thread to each branch. As a result, you will get a composition from the floor natural materials. This definitely cannot be ignored.
More complex options will require perseverance and skill. You will need thick wire. Since the composition is angular, it is necessary to make five “rays”, the outermost of which will be at an angle of 90 degrees relative to each other. The ends can be left straight, but if you wish, curl them, as shown in the photo below. We twist the place where they connect. We stretch the threads of the web across the entire width of the resulting element from one ray to another, etc. It is better to start from the wide part and gradually narrow the distance between the threads. This composition can be decorated with a homemade spider or dry leaves.
The most realistic spider web
Do you want to really scare your Halloween guests or tease your neighbors with your skills? Try to create a truly scary and realistic composition for the holiday.
Such a web is suitable both for the facade of a house and for decorating a small apartment inside.
A web made of gauze is a win-win. Firstly, the material is accessible and will definitely be available to everyone. Secondly, working with it is easy and simple.
To create a lighter, airier version, you will have to tinker. It is necessary to stretch each thread of gauze. But the effect exceeds expectations.
Even workplace can be decorated this way.
The second option is easier and faster - hang the gauze, stretch it slightly or tear it. The effect of realism will be less, so it is worth placing spiders and corresponding attributes on the canvas.
A web made from threads or ropes will look great. Will do wool yarn. If the threads are thin, then the white cobweb will look faded and unprofitable; it is better to use black.
Stretch six long threads crosswise in the place where you decided to install the composition, secure the ends with pins, nails, and masking tape. Closer to the center, attach a thread of the same color to any ray using a knot.
Moving in a spiral, secure parts of the web, making the distance between levels increasingly greater depending on the distance from the center. And at the end, secure with a strong knot.
The web is ready! It will look especially beautiful hanging on the corners. All that remains is to attach spiders and other decor to it.
Paper version
Patina from paper is easy to make according to the principle New Year's snowflakes. You will need a square sheet of paper and scissors.
We cut off the lower part so that an even triangle remains.
It's October outside, and we continue to prepare for the most creepy and mysterious holiday - Halloween. In the previous article, we looked at, and today we will learn how to make classic Halloween crafts with our own hands - the most traditional and bright symbols of this holiday.

The theme of Halloween decorations is unchanged - various kinds of horror, other world and its characters. And the only bright spot this evening is the pumpkin.
The pagan origins of the holiday are evident, when the signs of autumn served as symbols - bright leaves, harvest, garden scarecrows.
Jack of the Lantern is traditionally made from pumpkin.
According to Celtic legend, a greedy blacksmith, having entered into an agreement with the devil, after death did not end up in either Hell or Paradise, and his soul wandered the earth restless. The devil gave Jack a tiny coal to light his way. The blacksmith, protecting the coal from the rain, hid it in a pumpkin. Since then, it has been believed that such lanterns help homeless souls find their way to Purgatory. In addition, they say that the light of a candle in a pumpkin scares away evil spirits, which from October 31 to November 1 move from the world of the dead to the world of the living.
A Halloween pumpkin can be scary, fancy, or funny. It's a matter of taste and your imagination 
DIY Jack Lantern
Materials for work:
- Bright, medium-sized pumpkin without damage;
- Sample;
- Awl;
- Spoon;
- Candle,
- garland,
- flashlight;
- Marker;

1. Decide what we will use to illuminate the pumpkin. When lit by a candle, cut out the top of the pumpkin; for a flashlight or electric garland, cut off the bottom.
2. Consider the option with a candle. Cut off the cap from the top of the pumpkin in a cone shape.
3.Scrape the pulp and seeds from the pumpkin.

5. Cut out the elements of the face along the contours.
6.To add flavor, add vanillin, cinnamon, nutmeg or coffee beans.
7. We carefully secure the candle inside, about 3 times smaller than the size of the pumpkin.

When using a flashlight or electric garland, the cut off part will be at the bottom, and place the light source inside.

Now turn each prepared part into a muzzle. It will not be just a vegetable, but a kind of specimen that forms one part of a single structure. The first largest pumpkin has a hard time, because it is located at the foot of the pyramid. Give her a nose, a distorted mouth and pits for the eyes.
Also, stick on a patch for decoration to show that the strongman pumpkin has burst more than once and has been sewn up to be repaired.
The second pumpkin is in the middle. It’s hard for her too, but not as much as the previous one. She is surprised and tries to gather her strength. Come up with a facial expression for her.
For decoration, make a black blot on the side.
Now comes the smallest and most cunning pumpkin, which completes the whole structure. She smiles and winks at everyone around her, her cheeks stand out, it’s not hard for her at all, because she doesn’t hold anyone on her.
When your pumpkin fantasy is ready, assemble your snowman. Glue one piece to another to size.
Mash a large amount of black plasticine in your hands, crush it with your fingers, pulling out a rectangular, very thin cake. From the prepared part we will make a long cloak with a cap. On one side, close the corners and smooth the seam with your fingers, pull out the sharp cap.

Pumpkin is an integral attribute of the celebration of All Saints' Day. An old Irish legend says that one day the blacksmith Jack, a lover of drink, invited the evil one to join him in a nearby inn. When it was time to pay for the drink, Jack asked the devil to turn himself into a coin, after which he put it in his pocket, where there was already a silver cross. No matter how hard the evil one tried to regain his original appearance, he failed. The devil had to promise Jack not to claim his soul after death.
