Make this fun Tinsel Spider Wreath for Halloween.

This wreath is big and I have the perfect spot for it on my porch. There is no sewing required to make this wreath just glue and wire.

The spider’s legs are made with single sheets of felt that I bought for a few cents each at Walmart. Each of the legs is simply hot glued around the edges with a little poly-fil stuffing added to them.

I highly recommend using finger protectors when hot gluing felt. The hot glue tends to go through lightweight felt and I didn’t protect my fingers from the start… ouch!…but then ran to my craft bin for them. You can find them anywhere, I bought a few packs at Dollar Tree.

Below are all the details!

Supplies

18-inch wire wreath frame
Nine (9″ x 12″) sheets of black felt
One (9″ x 12″) sheet of purple felt
One (9″ x 12″) sheet of white felt
Tinsel garland (I bought about 6 packs – 9 feet long from Dollar Tree)
Thin wire (I used 28 gauge steel wire from my local hardware store)
Poly-Fil for stuffing
A hot glue gun and finger protectors (or Fabric Glue)
A printout of the Spider Leg and Eyes Template

How to Make a Tinsel Spider Wreath – 3 Easy Steps

STEP 2: Make Felt Spider Legs

Next download and print out the Spider Leg and Eyes Template. To cut the spider legs, fold each felt sheet in half to cut two pieces, a front, and a back. Repeat and cut seven more.

Download the template and cut 8 sets of felt legs.

Carefully hot glue the edges of each leg leaving the top open so you can stuff it with poly-fil stuffing. I recommend using finger protectors for this part. Another option is Fabric Glue! It takes a few more minutes to dry but less chance of burning your fingers.

Stuff each spider leg with poly-fil stuffing. Use a pencil to help push the stuffing into the tip of the spider legs if needed. Hot glue the top shut.

Feed a thin wire about an inch and a half from the end of each spider leg as shown below. Then tie and twist in place to secure to the back of the wreath.
