1. Draw a spiderweb on craft paper
Grab a pencil and sketch a spiderweb on a sheet of craft paper. Aim for a web that's about 12 inches wide with a 6-inch opening in the center — perfect for a striking necklace. Once you're satisfied with your design, trace over your pencil lines with a dark marker.

2. Secure black tulle over the drawing
Measure and cut a piece of black tulle to fit over your spiderweb drawing. Gently smooth out the tulle and carefully secure it to the paper with tape.
3. Draw a spiderweb with dimensional paint
Secure the paper to your workspace using tape to help keep the spiderweb from shifting while you're drawing. Then, give the dimensional paint bottle a good shake to make sure it's well mixed. This will help avoid clumps and ensure a smooth application.
Trace the spiderweb by applying the paint directly onto the tulle using slow, steady, and even pressure. If the paint comes out too fast, try squeezing gently. When you're finished, let it dry for at least 24 hours before moving the spiderweb.
4. Remove the excess paper and tulle
Once dry, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut away the excess paper and tulle around your spiderweb necklace. Cut as close to the painted lines as possible.
Next, dip the spiderweb necklace into a pan of water and rub gently to remove the paper from the back of the necklace.
When all the paper is removed, place the spiderweb necklace flat onto a towel to dry.
5. Attach the ribbon
To attach ribbon for holding your necklace in place, first cut a small slit in the tulle on each side of the back of the necklace. Then, slide the ends of each ribbon through the opening, fold it over, and hot glue in place.
Now, you're ready to slip your spooktacular spiderweb necklace over your Halloween costume and strut your stuff with confidence, knowing you look eerily good. Enjoy the ghoulish fun season in style!
