Video: How to Add Spiders to Spider Web Halloween Decorations
Video Transcript
Hello, my name is Matt Cail on behalf of expertvillage.com, I'm here to talk about spider web decorations. As you're closing in on finishing up all of the webbing you plan to hang up on your walls, there's an excellent prop which you can add to your webbing. These are little plastic spiders. They are both very cheap and they look surprisingly good from a distance and they're also very easy to add to your web. But where to put your spiders on your web, there are definitely good and bad places. One bad place is to pick a strand that is far too thin, there is not a lot of support in this strand area and worst yet, you almost kind of have to wedge it which can have a negative effect if your spider probably won't stay up there and you can also loosen tape which you spend all that time sticking to the wall. A much better place is to pick an area which has stretched out material, but is also still pretty thick. You can't see my finger that well behind this, there's a lot of good pocket areas. Think of basically placing a spider in a pocket area, kind of like a kangaroo. It's very simple to place them, you just put them, you can put them like right behind there and there you go. If you want a more visible spider, what you do especially if it has a ring on it, you can put it into the web and then just tug downward a little bit, this will get it to stick and have the webbing adhere around it and you let it go and odds are these spiders are going to stay there the whole night. In fact spiders have a better record of staying on the wall longer than the webbing does at times and now you have like a nice little creepy thing you can add and if your guests are too careful, they might actually think there's a spider right above them in the fake webbing.
