Creepily beautiful! A great lantern and at the same time a spooky Halloween decoration in the window.

And this is how it works:


On each of the two smaller lamp foils a spider's web with a diameter of approx. 35 cm is drawn and cut out

From the large Lamp foil a 12 cm wide middle strip (10 cm + 1 cm adhesive fold per side) is cut out. Tear the Straw silk paper into small pieces and glue them overlapping with Napkin varnish on all three cuts.

The spider's web is now painted with contour paint. The individual threads are bordered with a moss-green Watercolour pencil , wiped with water and then sealed with basecoat spray.

From the inside the fairy lights are glued to the spider web threads with hot glue. The corresponding battery compartment is fixed on the middle strip. This is now glued with double-sided Adhesive tape between the two self-made cobwebs.

The lantern bracket is quickly attached to the spider lantern

For the small spiders 4 cotton balls are painted black (for 4 spiders). On each side of the bobbins 4 holes are pricked for the 8 legs and 5 cm long black chenille wires are used. Stick one pompom on each of the spiders, put small Wobbly eyes.

Finally, decorate the lantern with the self-made spiders (fix it with hot glue)

Wonderfully creepy for running the lantern or in the window as Halloween decoration!
