This DIY Halloween wreath idea is a fun way to decorate your door for Trick or Treaters. All it takes is a grapevine wreath spray painted black and black glitter spiders attached with hot glue. Check out my creeptastic tutorial below for step-by-step directions.

DIY Halloween Wreath Ideas | Black Spider Wreath
Level: Beginner Time Project Time: 15 minutes (plus spray paint drying time)
Materials and Tools Needed:
- Grapevine Wreath (I used a size 14-inch wreath)
- Black Spray Paint
- Black Glitter Spiders (as many as needed to cover wreath – I used 24 spiders)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Ribbon (for hanging)
Directions:
1. Spray paint a grapevine wreath black. Allow paint to dry completely.
2. Use hot glue to attach the spiders to the wreath. I spaced the spiders about an inch apart on the front of the wreath. The spiders aren’t all facing the same way – just stick them wherever you like them, there’s really not a wrong way to place them. Repeat this step until spiders are glued on all the way around the wreath.
3. Hang the wreath with a ribbon. I used a Halloween-themed ribbon with a black spider print, but a plain colored black or orange ribbon would also look great with this wreath. I had one glitter spider left over from this craft, so I glued a piece of white string to it and tied the string to the wreath so the spider hangs down. If you like the wreath without the hanging spider, skip that step.

For fast Halloween party treats, grab some bakery glazed doughnuts, candy eyes and fake vampire fangs to make doughnuts of doom (these are great to make even at the last-minute!)

What a fun idea! I like the way you have hung the single spider, adds more creepiness. #HomeMattersParty

I like how simple this is to make. I like how it’s creepy, but not overly so.
Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you again next week when we open our doors at 12 AM EST on Friday.

How fun and easy to make! It would freak me out every time I walked to the door…but I love it! 🙂 #HomeMattersParty
Nicole says
LOL at that, Jamie. 🙂 I feel that way about those scary life-size skeleton and zombie statues people put out in their yard. Last year, I even crossed the road so I wouldn’t have to walk right next to one. My kids were laughing at me for being so creeped out.
Thanks for stopping by and for the the wreath compliments! –Nicole
