Directions for Making Spider Halloween Window Clings

Step 1

Using the white puffy paint, draw directly onto the non-stick surface to create the spider web and long string that the spider will hang from.

To Create the Spider

To create medium spiders, squeeze about a quarter size puddle of black onto pad, keeping the tip of the bottle on the paint puddle as you squeeze. Make the puddle as large as desired. Add legs attached to puddle.

Step 3

Let the spider and web dry fully before adding the spider detail. For a black widow spider like ours, draw a red hourglass shape on the body.

Make white eye balls and after they dry go back with the black paint. Googly eyes can also be substituted for paint.

Step 4

Once everything has dried, gently peel spiders from nonstick surface and place on glass, vase or mirror. They will pull off easily so you can re-position when needed. If you want to save them for next year, you can store on wax paper or plastic wrap.
