Upcycled Bicycle Wheel Garden Webs
Extend your Halloween decorating into the garden with an upcycled bicycle wheel garden web. This eco-friendly craft is incredibly durable, weather-resistant, and adds a wonderful touch of industrial-chic to your outdoor space. Source an old, discarded bicycle wheel from a thrift store or yard sale. Clean off any rust, and if you like, paint the metal frame with a bright, weather-resistant spray paint. The existing metal spokes of the wheel serve as the perfect structural foundation for your web.
Using thick, heavy-duty white outdoor rope, nylon cord, or even colorful climbing rope, begin weaving the concentric circles of the web, tying the cord securely to each metal spoke as you work your way outward. Once complete, you can lean the wheel against your garden fence, hang it from a sturdy tree branch, or tuck it into your flower beds. It creates a striking, sculptural element in your autumn garden that stands up beautifully to the wind and rain of late October.
