How to Make Cobweb Decorations

Cheesecloth

• 1

  Use a sheet of cheesecloth to make more durable cobwebs that are ideal for decorating larger spaces, such as for covering a table, wall or piece of furniture.

• 2

  Cut a piece of cheesecloth to fit the space you are going to decorate.

• 3

  Pull the cheesecloth apart until it resembles cobwebs. Drape the cheesecloth over the desired space.

Pantyhose

• 4

  Cut the legs off a pair of pantyhose in white, black or neon colors and slit the pantyhose lengthwise so it is a flat section.

• 5

  Pull the pantyhose apart using your hands to form large holes and cobweb designs.

• 6

  Swathe the pantyhose over a framed photograph, a chandelier or another small object or small group of objects; this type of cobweb is ideal for areas less than 2 feet in diameter to give the best impression of a cobweb.

Hot Glue

• 7

  Surround a small object, such as a flower vase or apothecary jar, with 4 to 8 hot glue pads.

• 8

  Apply a dot of hot glue to one of the pads. Stretch the glue over the object you are decorating to another hot glue pad.

• 9

  Continue adding strands of hot glue over and around the object using the hot glue pads as bases. Allow the glue dots to dry and peel them off the pads; leave the glue dots and strands in place to complete the cobweb.
