Here’s the first in this year’s spooky decorations – balloon spiders for Halloween. Some you can buy, some you can make and some you can use to freak out your friends. (Sigh) What a great holiday!
Many people have a fear of spiders. We can handle many other kinds of bugs but there’s something about those eight legs that gives us the heebie-jeebies which is absolutely the perfect feeling to provoke on Halloween.
So, whether you’re looking for indoor party decorations or outdoor ideas to spook your visitors, we’ve got a few finds to fit the bill.
Let’s start with some cool Mylar balloons you could use for an indoor party, a Halloween event at school, or for an October birthday party. (Hmmm…wonder what it’s like to have a birthday ON Halloween? Is there an over-abundance of orange and black birthday parties?)
How to Make a Large Balloon Spider
Balloon spiders are easy to make, too, and they make the perfect decoration for an indoor party. You can make small ones and attach them to your wall, dangle large ones from the ceiling, or mix and match for your own Arachnophobia scene.
Supplies needed are 5 #260 black twisting balloons and one round red balloon.
