Supplies For Yarn Spider Web
For this easy craft, you'll only need craft sticks, yarn, some hot glue, and plastic spider rings. That's it! It's so simple but makes a big impact. You can find craft sticks and yarn at your local Dollar Tree or any craft store which makes this a very affordable activity.
How to Make a Spider Web Craft
- Gather your materials and cover your workspace to protect it from the hot glue.
- Create the base of the web with 3 craft sticks - place 2 sticks to make an X and then then the third one in the middle of those. You should have 6 points total.
- Hot glue your sticks to each other and make sure they're secure.
- Start adding the yarn by tying one piece towards the middle and making a knot. I used white but feel free to use any color you like.
- Then, wrap the yarn around each stick over, under, over, and under until complete. Make sure you are working your way from the middle out.
- Secure with a knot and top with a plastic spider ring!
Kids can really have fun making their own spider webs how they like. They can make it more spread out or pack in more yarn. They can also choose to color or paint their sticks. It's really all about making it their own and having fun with it.
If you're trying this idea in a larger size for spooky decoration, consider using thin wooden dowels or bamboo sticks. Pair that with thicker yarn and a bigger fake spider for the full effect.
I hope you love this craft stick spider web idea and try it with your kids or students. I love making these every year with my sons for the spooky season!
