Find an old container that is shaped like a large bowl, for instance, we used an old mini-pond liner. You can use whatever-the-heck you can find. Old trash cans, truck covers, camping equipment; you get the picture.
2. Drill holes in the side of the Halloween Spider Decoration so you can attach eight legs.
3. Find eight legs that are the same length. We used old drain tubes. Attach them with screws, zip ties, cording, or whatever you have.
4. Staple big eyeballs onto his head. We used some old foam strips, cut them into eyeball shapes, and viola!
5. Create a chain to hold your spider in place. We used recycled mesh gutter leaf guards I dug out of someone’s trash on garbage night. No kidding. I cut off the stiff left side, and then we sewed the gutter guards together like a “paper chain”. Turned out perfecto!
6. We have found that lifting the Halloween spider decoration up makes him look better. He is resting on a tomato cage. Hook the “chain” onto the tomato cage then stretched across and hooked on to the tree so our spider will not escape.
7. We reused a plastic garden container insert to make his name tag, and cheap spider webbing adds a final haunted touch.
