9. Yarn Spiderwebs

Yarn spiderwebs are another fun and easy decoration that can be used for the fun Halloween season.  These look great in corners where they can pop out rather than just being laid flat against a wall.
Materials

• Yarn
• Clear Tape
• Fake spiders (can't have a spiderweb without spiders!)

Begin by using two strands of yarn to make a large "X" and tape the edges to where you want your spiderweb to sit.  Continue using double strands to add a few more lines across to make a large star typed shape across the area you want your spiderweb to be.

Making the web rings are a little more difficult than the beginning part of the web.  You need to begin by cutting a very long piece of yarn.  Twice as long as you think you'll need.  In order to tie the rings onto the original star shape, you will need to use a slip through type of knot rather than tying it on to each section.  Here, you have the option of either putting the rings in concentric circles or in spirals outward.
 
Use this knot to tie the yarn in its first location near the center of the circle, then go on to the next and the next section of the inner "star" to make the rings part of the web.  I personally think it would be easier to to tie these in spirals outwards rather than concentric circles, but it's up to you!

Stay tuned for the next DIY!  Glowing eyes for your bushes.  See you next time! (The next post should come later today!)
