Floating Spooky Spiderweb Halloween Décor

My Dollar Store DIY - Halloween projects using Dollar Store supplies

Halloween decorations from the Dollar Tree transformed into even better Halloween decorations! Today I’m sharing my DIY Floating Spooky Spiderweb Halloween Decor made from Dollar Store Supplies. These scary and spooky spiderwebs are now bobbing around above my dining room table!

Truth be told, I may end up skipping my Fall decor this year and head straight to Halloween! Anyone else?! Today is the last Thursday of the month which means its time for another edition of My Dollar Store DIY where a group of us stake out fun and inexpensive finds at our local dollar store and whip up a DIY décor piece. This month’s theme is Halloween!

DOLLAR STORE HALLOWEEN: FLOATING SPOOKY SPIDERWEB HALLOWEEN DECOR

I wanted to create something fun that the boys would love so thought a hanging or “floating” project would be super cute. The finished project ended up in the dining room hanging from the chandelier and we can see the spiderwebs from several spots throughout the house!

DIY FLOATING  SPOOKY SPIDERWEB HALLOWEEN DECOR DIRECTIONS

1 // Heat up your glue gun and run a line of glue around the bottom of your creature, in my case the glitter skull and glitter owl, and place it in the center of one of the spiderweb baskets. Mine has an on/off switch for the glowing eyeballs, so I made sure the switch was still accessible through the bottom of the basket. The opening is too small to use my finger to switch it off and on, but large enough to stick a pen or toothpick through.

2 // Next, determine at what height you want your web to hang down and cut your clear string to the desired length. Loop your string through the bottom of your second basket and tie a knot. This is the top of your spiderweb. The one with the creature in it will serve as the bottom.

3 // Then, cut four 6-8 inch strings. One strand at a time, thread it through the top of the “bottom” basket and loop it through the bottom of the top basket and tie a knot. Repeat this 3 more times until you’ve secure the two baskets together using the invisible string creating a gap in between the two.

4 // Hang the web from a light fixture or from the ceiling [using a clear command hook, which was my original plan!] at the desired height. I created 2 webs, so using 4 baskets total, and staggered the two so they weren’t hanging or floating from the same height.

Aren’t these spider webs cute?

I’m trying to pretend that my table isn’t halfway decorated for Fall, so just ignore the room’s identity crisis. Like I said before, Halloween decorating came a wee bit before Fall decorating this year. But who’s really keeping track?! You didn’t even notice, did you? ha!

In all seriousness, I plan to have my fabulous Fall Tablescape finished and ready to share sometime next week. It is going to be done up in burnt orange and berry with bronze and gold tones throughout! Stay tuned 😉
