How to make a web from wool threads. Do-it-yourself web with a chestnut spider and a dragonfly made from natural materials

Halloween is a holiday that first appeared among the ancient Celts of Ireland and Scotland. It is celebrated on October 31, the eve of All Saints' Day and, as a rule, it is celebrated in English-speaking countries, as well as in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. But starting from the end of the twentieth century, this day began to be celebrated in many other European countries and in the former Soviet republics. On this day, many people put on scary costumes and decorate their homes and offices with cobwebs for an interesting Halloween holiday, quickly and step by step with their own hands.

We bring to your attention several options for making a web for the holiday with your own hands using different techniques, for example, from paper.

How to make a huge spider web for Halloween with your own hands

To create a large rope web you will need the following contents and materials:

• Double-sided adhesive tape;
• Gray or black thread;
• Spider for decorating webs (plastic or other material).

After preparing all the necessary materials and tools, start making a dark decorative web from threads. Before starting all the manipulations, think carefully about how your web will look - what size it will be, and how your threads will go. Based on this, stick small pieces of double-sided adhesive tape to the wall - you will need a lot of pieces.

First glue the pieces of thread that will go in the direction from the center (straight lines), and then start gluing the threads that go around the web. If desired, attach a toy spider to your large web.

Making a spider web from gauze: a detailed description of the work

Ordinary gauze is also suitable for interior decoration. Cut a suitable size piece of medical gauze. Start stretching it randomly. You can even make holes in the fabric in places. Such a web looks best in the form of randomly hanging rags. You can wrap it around individual objects in the room. If desired, dye the fabric any color. If you decide not to paint all the gauze you are using, you can highlight individual areas of it with a coloring compound that must be applied with a brush.

It is not necessary to use this decorative element only in the interior. You can add cobwebs to a suit or some small accessories. Creating this decoration is very simple. It all depends on what material the selected product is made of, for example, beads. If you have enough time to prepare for the holiday, you can even paint glassware with special paints. You can draw by hand or using a stencil. If you wish, you can simply draw a web on the skin. It will also look good in an embroidered version on fabric. Don’t forget about textile paints, which allow you to apply any image to clothing.

Trying to make a web from threads: ideas and description of production

If you need to decorate walls or floors, the best option would be a woven web. To create it you will need threads, the thickness of which depends on the size of the finished decoration.

For convenience, draw a random sketch on a piece of paper. Start with the basics. To do this, take several pieces of thread of equal length. Cross the first two with the middles. Secure in a convenient way - push pins, pins, wire or double-sided tape will do. Then fasten the remaining threads in the same way, making sure that the intersection point is the same for everyone, and the segments are connected exactly in the middle. At this stage, the Halloween spider web looks like a star. Now you can start weaving the spider web itself: moving in a spiral direction, you need to connect the guide threads. Avoid excessive tension. It's up to you to leave the ends loose or secure them with one more turn.

If you want to wrap lamps, interior details, or an entire closet in cobwebs, you will need a couple of spools of fine thread. Wrap it randomly around an existing object. You can allow it to sag, or you can form a tight, dense cocoon. This technique will look interesting with white or gray threads. If you wish, you can paint the cobweb yourself in a dirty-dusty color. To do this, thoroughly soak the thread in a solution of black paint, dry it, and then start winding. To give elasticity and durability to the web, you can make it from threads soaked in PVA glue. But remember that such decoration can smear the base with the composition. It is ideal for decorating disposable tableware and bottles for the table.

We offer several videos demonstrating how to create a web for the holiday with your own hands. Enjoy watching!

Decorating an apartment for Halloween is a fun and creative process. Despite the fact that you can now buy a wide variety of decorative elements in stores, there is a special charm in making them yourself.

A web woven from woolen threads can be placed anywhere - for example, on a wall or on a window. This is a simple but at the same time interesting composition, just in the spirit of Halloween.

To make a web you will need:

1. Making the base of the web

First you need to take 3 or 4 threads and form the base of the web from them. The threads should intersect in the center, and they can be secured with tape or nails. Each thread, after crossing in the center, is attached to the outer edge (thus, three long threads will make six warp threads).

2. Forming rings

Then you will need a long thread to weave the transverse parts of the web. At each place where the transverse threads intersect with the longitudinal ones, you need to tie a strong knot. This is necessary so that the threads do not move out.

3. Cut off excess

Continue weaving circles in this manner until the end of the web. Once finished, cut off any excess threads. The rings of the web can be placed closer or further apart - this will affect its appearance.

4. Done!

The size of the web depends on the location of attachment and your desire! Several webs of different sizes look interesting. You can also use multi-colored threads - this way the composition will look more original. And, of course, the final touch will be a toy spider; it can be secured to the web with thin threads.

Even if you don't plan to celebrate Halloween on a large scale, you can still customize your home with a ball of thread, tape, construction paper, and scissors.

You can often find advice on the Internet on how to make a Halloween spider web with glue, however, after trying this method, I came to the conclusion that it is easier to make a spider web with tape.

1. It is better to weave a web on a flat, flat surface: on the floor or on a table. Making the “base” for the web. To do this, fold 6 threads of the same length crosswise. It turns out to be a kind of “snowflake”. We fasten the middle with tape, and glue the edges with tape to the floor (or to the table) on which we make the web. You just need to glue it not tightly, but in such a way that you can pass the ball under the base without tearing the ends off the surface.

2. Now we take a ball and start weaving. We tie the tip of the thread to the middle of the web and make a ball behind each warp thread. At the same time, we will alternate: we will wrap it around one thread once, and tie it to the other with a knot. Thanks to this, the web will be smoother. So we weave in a circle: we wrap it once, tie it the other.

3. We tie everything with knots in the last row so that the web does not unravel.

Now we carefully detach the edges of the web from the floor and carry it with outstretched arms to where we want to hang it. For example, on the door. Having thrown a web over the door, we secure it with tape, and in the middle we plant a spider cut out of colored paper. (We then decorated the spider from the photo with a black felt-tip pen - so it became much brighter).

Decorating your home for Halloween can be quite a task, and you may have to sacrifice the style of your favorite apartment for store-bought items. Chinese trinkets fill your space so unsightly and can overwhelm you with the abundance of black and orange colors.

This year, skip the store-bought souvenirs and make your own Halloween decorations. Not only is it fun, but you'll also save money!

So put aside the huge artificial white clouds of “spider” webs, hanging which you can hardly wash your hands later! We will teach you how to quickly and easily make a web from threads that are lying around your house. And if there are no threads, you can unravel an old sweater and sock.

• Yarn (threads from any material, all kinds of colors)
• Scissors (ordinary stationery, for cutting or even manicure)
• Tape (use tape that won't damage your wallpaper and can be easily removed, such as masking tape)

Tools for thread web

Operating procedure:

• To start, cut 3-4 long strands (or more) and secure them to the wall with tape (or nail them to the wall). Place them so that they all intersect in the middle.
• Secure all the long pieces of thread in the middle with a small piece of yarn and tie them together. It is advisable to cut off unnecessary long ends.

Scheme and procedure for collecting webs from threads

• Then take a long piece of yarn and begin to gradually form a web. Tie one end of the yarn to one of the long pieces of thread and do the same with each of the long pieces.

How to properly fasten and “tie” knots on a web

• On each long strand, tie a large piece of thread to the strand (using a simple knot).
• Continue moving from one long strand to the next, twisting and tying, until you gradually reach the very first strand you started with.

Trim any excess yarn ends. Each knot should be sliding so that you can easily move it up or down the thread.

The easiest way to secure it to the wall is with masking tape.

Repeat this step, using increasingly longer pieces of thread to form increasingly larger rings on your web. You can make these rings at a very short distance from each other, or, conversely, further away - it all depends on your mood and aesthetic need.

Only when you have finished weaving all the rings on the web will your spider web be ready!

Select the size and shape of your future web in accordance with the features of your wall, the location of bookshelves or windows.

You can weave a web, combining a variety of colors and sizes - compact white or huge black.

To further lift your spirits, you can weave a web from some bright, juicy threads! Don't forget to add small faux spiders to enhance the spooky effect!
