Felt Spider Halloween Ornaments

Now that you’ve crafted up the Halloween tree of your dreams it’s time to decorate it.  While I am normally not a fan of spiders these sparkly, soft spiders are utterly charming. Customize with colors, eye placement, design and sequins to make each spider your own. I’ve  included some spider eye placement ideas on the printable template to make things even easier.

You will need:

Black felt and thread  a 9″ x 12″ sheet will make two spiders.

Black seed beads for eyes

Sequins (I used, Hot Pink, Classic Red, Highlighter, Black and Dragonfly

Scrap felt for designs (optional) I used Lipstick and Bubblegum

White embroidery floss for web hanging loop

Stuffing

Cut

2 spider (or widow) bodies and one set of legs from black felt.

Stitch seed beads into place for eyes.

Add design to spider body. For tips on sewing sequins see our post on how to sew sequins to felt. 

On the opposite body side sew legs to body by sewing through the center of the leg piece with a running stitch.

Place body pieces together with the legs on the outside not sandwiched between the two pieces, over cast stitch around the body and stuff.

Decorate spiders in an infinite number of styles.

For felt details, cut shapes and sew sequins to design before sewing onto spider body.

Sew into spider bottom with white embroidery floss and use a square knot to create a loop for hanging.

Happy Crafting~

How to make a Halloween Tree

Making ornaments is too much fun to limit to once a year! And thus the Halloween tree was born.

Small enough to fit into your decor without clutter but with a big impact, this tree can be sized up or down and made with things you may already have on hand.

Check out how easy it is to add a fabulous tree to your Halloween decor this season.

To make a Halloween Tree you will need:

A branch– any size any shape.

The one here is 22″ tall and about 12″ at it’s widest.  You can easily trim to size or even hot glue branches into places you’d like them to be. Keep in mind you will need about 3′-4″ at the base for the foam to hold. Just make sure your branch has dried out and give it a quick rinse and scrub with a kitchen sponge so paint adheres better.

Black spray paint

Container of your choice, a vase, a small pot or even a small plastic pumpkin works great as long as it is deep enough to hold 3″ or more.

Floral foam (the hard crunchy kind) sized to your container.

Moss

Hot glue gun and glue

Serrated saw or knife to cut foam

Black Glitter (optional)

After you have cleaned and dried the branch give it a good spray of black spray paint and quickly follow with a hearty sprinkle of glitter, turn slightly and repeat until you have covered the whole branch. Allow to dry.

Fall in stock, come explore the colors of the season at American Felt and Craft. 

Fall, in stock now.

Fit foam to your container making sure it fits snugly inside. Cut with serrated knife to fit.

Brush off excess glitter. Press the branch into the foam. Hot glue moss into place small sections at a time to cover foam. And you’ve got an amazing Halloween tree you’ll enjoy year after year. Now onto the ornament making…

Happy Crafting~
