Makes one web
Sometimes those tried-and-true props need a facelift after years of repeated use. In the case of my massive spider web, I wanted to give it added interest by weaving the bones of victims into it. Since I intended for this to be a temporary adjustment (I plan to give the prop an entirely different look for 2017’s haunt), I chose to attach the bones with yarn. For more permanency, you could hot glue them into place.
- One large fabric spider web (roughly 12’ in diameter)
- One bag of cheap, plastic bones (roughly one dozen bones per bag)
- Eight to nine yards of black yarn
1. Find an area on your wall large enough to accommodate your web, clear it of any decorations and pictures, and hang it with its attached strings.
2. Cut the yarn into two-foot strips. Although you can cut them shorter, I found that this size gives you ample length to work with and compensates for any mistakes made during steps three and four.
3. Determine where you want your bones and thread the yarn through the webbing. Try to select areas near the webbing’s seams for added support.
4. Wrap the yarn around the bones at least three times, knot the ends, and trim the excess. You could arrange the bones in random patterns or create designs (e.g. a pentagram, a large skull, or a menacing spider).
