Halloween Crafts & Art Projects

This Halloween Spider Web placemat looks fantastic, glows in the dark, is simple to make, fun for your kids and spill-proof! This will really spice up your Halloween table setting.

Directions:

1. Cut two 16-inch circles from a piece of medium weight decorator plastic (usually found at fabric stores for use as a table covering).
2. Using a large brush, smear glow-in-the-dark fabric paint in a swirling pattern on one of the plastic circles.
3. Now draw a spider web design on this circle with glitter fabric paint.
4. Sprinkle holographic or other Halloween confetti over the paint.
5. Cut a spider shape out of a piece of dark cardstock and place on the web.
6. Paint two eyes on the spider with yellow acrylic paint (or glitter fabric paint).
7. Let project dry overnight (or longer if still wet).
8. Place second plastic circle over the first and sew together using a zig-zag stitch. Go around the placemat twice.
