White yarn
Small balloons or large balloons
White glue
Water
Mixing bowl (Glass bowls are best for mixing the glue solution because they are easy to clean with steel wool if the glue hardens.)

How to Make a Spider Egg Sac Halloween Decoration: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Read through these step-by-step directions before making your own spider egg sac DIY Halloween decorations, so you know the steps involved and what to expect. A photo craft tutorial follows the directions to make it easy to see how to make spider egg sac crafts with yarn and white glue.

1. Blow up balloons to make spider eggs:

Grab some small balloons or regular-sized balloons and blow a few up to get started on this fun Halloween spider craft.
Use small balloons to make smaller spider egg sac crafts and regular-sized balloons to make larger spider egg sac decorations.
If you are decorating an ample indoor or outdoor space, consider making them in different sizes by blowing up the balloons with more or less air.

2. Mix white glue with Water:

Mix equal parts white glue and water to create a diluted glue solution for the yarn.

3. Put white yarn into the glue solution:

Carefully place the white yarn into the glue solution to soak.
Leave a length of yarn on the side of the bowl so it’s easy to find when making spider egg sacs.

4. Wrap the balloons with yarn:

Next, wrap each balloon with white yarn to make spider eggs.
Please do your best to wind the yarn and wrap it around and around in several directions to create a spider egg.

5. Allow the Spider Egg Halloween Decoration to Dry:

Tie a dry piece of yarn around the balloon knot and hang it to dry for at least 24 hours.
The yarn will harden and become stiff when the glue is dry.

6. Pop balloons and remove them from the spider egg craft:

Use a sewing needle, scissors, or a sharp knife to pop the balloon inside each spider egg.
Gently remove the popped balloons from the inside of the spider crafts.
Work carefully so the spider egg sac does not collapse, break, or come apart.

7. Tie a section of monofilament line or fishing string to the spider egg sac Halloween craft:

Cut off a section of monofilament line about 12 to 36 inches long, depending on where you plan to hang your Halloween decoration.

8. Hang spider egg sac decoration:

Decorate your home or school with these fun, spooky spider eggs for Halloween parties and trick-or-treaters on Halloween night!
Hang them from the ceiling, exposed beams, tree branches, porch overhangs, and anywhere else you think spider egg sac decorations would look spooktacular!

9. Decorate Egg Sacs with plastic spiders or spider crafts:

Use plastic spiders to decorate the egg sacs.
Both children and adults love to hang and decorate simple Halloween crafts like these spider eggs. Children love to help with Halloween decorations!

Spider Egg Craft Photo Tutorial:

It became a challenge to take pictures when my daughter and I made spider egg sacs because the glue was all over our hands! However, the photo tutorial below for the spider egg sac provides a basic demonstration of how to wrap each balloon with yarn.

In her excitement about popping the balloons when our spider eggs were dry, my daughter forgot to allow Mommy to take pictures of them hanging. Fortunately, these directions and the step-by-step photo craft tutorial below will suffice. The best way to dry spider egg sac crafts is to tie a piece of yarn to the knot of the balloon. Then, hang the spider egg craft somewhere to dry for about 24 hours. When finished, hang your spider crafts and add spider toys to complete the decorations!
