6. Yarn Spiderweb Wreath

Black yarn spiderweb wreath with plastic spiders on a front door

This dramatic wreath looks like a movie prop, but it is just a wire frame and a ball of yarn. The web pattern is simple — over, under, wrap — and big plastic spiders finish the creepy effect.

Tuck in a few black-sprayed leaves for texture, hang it on your front door, and watch trick-or-treaters do a double take.

What You’ll Need

  • Wire wreath frame
  • Black yarn
  • Large plastic spiders
  • Hot glue gun
  • Black spray paint (optional, for leaves)
  • Faux autumn leaves

How to Make

  1. Wrap yarn around the wire frame to cover it completely.
  2. Stretch yarn spokes across the frame like bicycle wheels, tying each one off.
  3. Weave a spiral of yarn around the spokes to form the web.
  4. Glue plastic spiders onto the web at different spots.
  5. Tuck in a few black-painted leaves and hang on the door.
