5. Oversized Trash Bag Spiderwebs
If you want to cover a large area of your yard or house facade with dramatic decor on a shoestring budget, oversized trash bag spiderwebs are the ultimate solution. By folding and cutting heavy-duty black garbage bags in a manner similar to paper snowflakes, you can create massive, intricate spiderwebs that are completely waterproof and highly visible from the street. They are perfect for stretching across garage doors, fences, or between porch pillars.
Take a black trash bag, trim off the sealed bottom and sides to create a large square, and fold it diagonally into a triangle. Continue folding the triangle in half several times, keeping the central point aligned. Use a white chalk marker to draw a web pattern consisting of curved lines along the folded wedge, then carefully cut out the negative spaces. Unfold the bag to reveal a giant, glossy web. Secure it to your outdoor surfaces using outdoor tape or zip ties, and add a few giant plastic spiders to complete the creepy-crawly look.
