Things You'll Need:
- Long black dress
- Silky twine
- Clear glass beads
- Black string
- 2 pair black tights
- Stuffing.
-
Step 1
Lay out the string into a spiral shape on the floor. The spiral should be about as big across as 2/3 of the way around he skirt of the dress.
-
Step 2
Cut lengths of string that cross the spiral.
-
Step 3
Starting at the middle of the spiral form the spider web by tying the cross strings at each intersection with the spiral.
-
Step 4
Sew a glass bead at each intersection in the string spider web to simulate a dew drop.
-
Step 5
Using black thread, tack the spider web to the skirt of the dress.
-
Step 6
Make costume spider legs by stuffing the black tights. Using nylons is a simple way to make legs fast. If you want something a little more spider like, you can sew tubes of shaggy black fur material.
-
Step 7
Attach the spider costume legs at the back of your waist.
-
Step 8
Tie black string between the legs and leave a length to your hands with wrist loops.
-
Step 9
Spiders have up to 8 circular eyes. You can play with this by doing your hair into buns, or making a costume hat with shiny spider eyes on it.
