How to Make Cardboard Spiderweb Crafts & Games

You can turn old cardboard into a spiderweb crafts project or game.

Spiderweb motifs are perfect for spooky crafts and games at Halloween. You can craft spiderwebs from cardboard pieces you may already have on hand, making it a cost conscious project. Whether you're making a craft or a game, spiderwebs are ideal for late-October fun with little ones in the classroom or at home on a rainy afternoon.

Things You'll Need

• Cardboard
• Stencil
• Pencil
• Scissors
• White crayon

Instructions

Spooky Spider Crafts

1. Trace the outline of a spiderweb onto a sheet of cardboard. Use a stencil bought at a craft store or create one from a clip art image online. Trace the spiderweb using a pencil.

2. Trace over the pencil drawing with a white crayon to make it look more like a real spiderweb.

3. Cut out the spiderwebs using scissors. Cut along the perimeter of the drawn lines, and cut out the negative space between the web's strands. Hang it on the wall or in a window as a Halloween decoration.

Games With Spiders

1. Trace the outline of a spiderweb onto a sheet of cardboard using a stencil and a pencil. Remove the stencil. Erase small, inch-sized portions of some lines, making a maze with one way to get to the center of the web.

2. Trace over the pencil drawing with a white crayon to give it the look of a spiderweb.

3. Give the maze to kids. Ask them to figure out how to get to the center of the web maze in one uninterrupted line.
