Nothing says Halloween like spiders lurking in the shadows. This Spider Web Wreath is simple to craft and gives off major eerie vibes.

Materials:

• Black grapevine wreath
• Fake spider web (available at any Halloween store)
• Plastic spiders in varying sizes
• Black spray paint (optional for a darker wreath)
• Hot glue gun

Instructions:

1. Start by spraying your grapevine wreath black for extra spookiness. Let it dry completely.
2. Stretch the fake spider web material around the wreath to create a tangled, web-like effect.
3. Once the web is securely in place, use a hot glue gun to attach spiders throughout the wreath, clustering some and scattering others for a natural, crawling look.
4. Hang your new spider-infested wreath on your door and watch your guests squirm!

Pro Tip: For added scare factor, use glow-in-the-dark spiders to keep the spooky effect going after dark!
