Arachnid fans can weave an even bigger web of Halloween intrigue this year with giant spider decorations climbing the walls of their homes. A DIY tutorial for these massive eight-leggers comes from Better Homes & Gardens. The publication shows how to make three different sizes of spiders.

But if you want the kind that will frighten people away from your house, go for the largest size. You’ll need wire half-spheres, zip ties, faux fur, stem wire, and foam tubing to create the big creepy crawly creatures. The spiders can be attached to a house with wire, twine, adhesive strips or hooks.
