More Styling Ideas Using the Same Materials
With the same mason jar, lights, spider web material, and fake spider, you can create a variety of different Halloween styles to suit your party or décor theme.
- HAUNTED HOUSE: Tuck the lights deep inside the jar, cover it entirely with wispy webbing, and perch the spider right in the center for a bold focal point.
- CREEPY CUTE: Use colorful LED lights instead of white or orange, and choose a glittery or neon spider to add a playful twist.
- MINIMALIST AND EERIE: Keep the jar mostly uncovered so the lights shine through, wrapping just a touch of spider web material at the base and placing the spider inside the jar as if it’s trapped. Fairy lights would be perfect for this.
- MOTHER SPIDER AND BABIES: Let the lights and spider webbing spill out and over the top of the jar. Place the large spider (mother) coming out of the top with as many tiny spiders (babies) that will fit, spilling out and onto the table.
NEW…NEW…NEW…IDEA!
INSTEAD OF FILLING THE JAR WITH THE WEBBING AND THE SPIDER…
- Add only the lights to the jar, letting some of the lights spill out for an eerie flow.
- Pull apart the spider web material until it’s thin and wispy, then drape and wrap it around the jar, also covering the lights spilling out of the jar so it looks like a giant spider egg that has just hatched.
- For a creepy finishing touch, place the large spider on top or crawling down the side along with tons of tiny baby spiders.

THANKS FOR VISITING❣️
I love this! We decorate the outside of the house like crazy for Halloween and these would be a great addition for Halloween night for the trick-or-treaters.
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks, they have just the right amount of creepy but not too much scary. 🙂
The spiders are givinig me the chills even though I know they are not real! Great idea for decorating.:)
This is such a cool idea, Sheryl! 🙂
Thank you for sharing it at this week’s HalloWonderful Link Party!
What do you use as the spiderweb?
Hi Rose, I used a bag of store bought Halloween spider webs.
these are awesome thank you,
Thanks Francis Ann! 🙂
Love the simplicity, low cost and perfect amount of “eek” without being TOO scary for my kids 🙂 Though they’re scaring me a bit for sure! 😉
Me too Anna! 🙂
Awesome idea! Do you think this could be done with an individual battery operated tea light instead? Or would it not produce enough light? Thanks!
I don’t think it will produce enough light Michelle. 🙂
what kind of lighting did you use and where can I get it? I need enough for a classroom project for 22 kids per class x 3 classes! so I would need to buy 66 lights and keep it affordable. Any suggestions??
Hi Desiree, My lights were from Oriental Trading (the link is in the post). For something more affordable I would try dollar tree. They usually carry battery operated string lights. I know for sure they have battery operated tea lights. You can get two per package.
