Decorating for Halloween with Spider Crafts and Recipes

We are going with a spider theme at our house for Halloween this year. I found some large furry spiders and those stretchy spider webs on sale. We decorated the shrubs out front with these scary spiders with big red eyes. They are getting lots of attention from kids walking by on their way to school.

Since my daughter loves the spider decorations for Halloween, I thought it would be fun to see what other spider-related crafts I could come up with this year. Check out these fun ideas for creating your own spider decorations.

1. I loved this giant spider made from a milk jug and pipe insulation! Such fun. Would be perfect on the window or on a fence.
