Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor
Spiders are such awesome and amazing creatures. I think that decorating for Halloween with spiders is always a really good idea, especially cute ones like this felt spider hoop art decor. Left over scraps of felt can be tied onto an embroidery hoop for a fun and fringy wreath that is perfect to show off for Halloween! It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3! Let’s make one!
Supplies Needed for Felt Spider Hoop Art
- Felt Craft Sheets 9” by 12” – Black
- Wooden Embroidery Hoop – 4″
- Chenille Stem, Eight, Black
- Wiggle Eyes, Two
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Pencil
- Scissors
Instructions for Felt Spider Hoop Art Decor
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. Remove the label from the embroidery hoop. Loosen the screw at the top of the hoop and separate the inside hoop from the outside hoop. Tighten the screw back up. Use one piece of the hoop now and save the other for another project.
STEP TWO
For this project, use the 9″ width of the Felt Craft Cuts. Make a stack of bits and pieces that are big enough. Randomly cut the scraps of felt into strips, some skinny and some fat, with scissors. For this 4″ hoop you will need approximately 50 strips.
STEP THREE
Start tying the strips of felt around the embroidery hoop in double knots. Use the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock marks as a starting point. Continue working around the entire hoop, pushing the strips together to get as many tied on as possible.
The more scrap strips tied onto the hoop the fluffier the wreath will be.
STEP FOUR
Wrap black chenille stem around a pencil then slide off to reveal a coil. Repeat with remaining black chenille stems to create the spider’s legs. Cut a strip of black felt approximately ½” wide, trim the strip into 16 squares, and then into 16 circles. Glue two circles to one end of each coil, sandwiching the chenille stem in the center. Repeat with remaining felt circle pairs and spider legs.
STEP FIVE
Flip the hoop to the back. Take one black scrap strip and fold over the screw, so that the tails are hanging down into the center of the hoop. Attach two large wiggle eyes, one on each tail with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim excess black felt from under the eyes.
STEP SIX
Add a ribbon bow to dress up the spider and use twine as a hanger.
