Turn simple black paper plates into spider webs using white yarn and a hole punch. Once the web is woven, add felt spiders (available in orange, black, or purple) on top or tucked under the yarn for a spooky effect.

Directions

Use a hole punch to create holes evenly spaced around the rim of a black paper plate.

Cut a length of white yarn and tie one end securely through a hole on the plate.

Weave the yarn across the plate, threading it through each hole in a crisscross pattern to mimic a spider web. If the yarn becomes too long for small hands, tie off the current piece and start a new strand. Trim any excess yarn as needed.

Prepare your spiders—like felt stickers available in orange, black, and purple from craft stores, which have adhesive backing.

Attach the spider either on top of the yarn web, or tuck it underneath the strands. Your spooky decoration is complete!
