14. Giant Crepe Paper Spider
Make a bold, dramatic statement with a giant, fuzzy spider perched on your wall or ceiling. Construct the bulbous body of the spider using papier-mache over balloons, then cover the entire surface with layers of fringed black crepe paper to give it a realistic, hairy texture. For the legs, wrap thick wire with black crepe paper, bending them at sharp, creepy angles so the spider appears to be actively crawling. The wire allows you to pose the legs around furniture, over doorframes, or hanging down from the ceiling, creating an eye-catching and delightfully spooky focal point.
