Papier-Mâché Spider
The very scary spiders climbed up (and down) the living-room wall. For these eight-legged invaders' bodies, we inflated two different-size balloons and covered them in papier-mâché, then glued the parts together and spray-painted them black. For legs, eight lengths of floral wire ($7 for 20, drieddecor.com), bent and wrapped with paper tape at the joints, were sprayed black and poked into holes in the body. We kept our arachnids monotone, cut holes in the abdomens, and mounted them with Command hooks ($8.49, target.com). But you can up the fear factor by painting on the red markings of black widows, or suspending them in a dark corner or hallway. Gotcha! Searching for even more spider crafts? We have you (and your walls) covered.
