This spiderweb craft is one of our favorite DIY Halloween decorations. Super easy to make with coffee filters and just a tad spooky!

Updated September 2024

This time of year, we love spiderweb crafts to get into the Halloween spirit and decorate our homes.

And coffee filter spiderwebs and little felt spiders might be our favorites!

These are inspired by the coffee filter snowflakes we make every winter, as well as the coffee filter hearts we’ve decorated our windows with around Valentine’s Day.

Coffee filters are perfect for this sort of scissor craft because they are thin without being flimsy, making it easier for kids to cut through multiple layers.

Plus, they are already round. And somewhat transparent, making them great for window decoration.

MATERIALS

Note: These are so easy, you probably don’t need any how-to instruction. But here are a few different ways we made these spiderwebs.

We just love the way these look in our window! So spooky!

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fold your coffee filter

    Before you start cutting, fold up your coffee filter in half, and then in half again, and continue until you have a skinny triangle.

  2. Make your cuts

    The easiest of all: just make a series of “V” cuts down one or both sides of the folded coffee filter.

    The next easiest: cutting rectangles along one or both sides of the folded coffee filter.

    You can also cut the top of the filter into a curved line, or cut the center out, to make it look even more like a spiderweb.

  3. Hang your webs

    Glue your coffee filter spiderwebs to the window with a few strategic dabs from a glue stick (it washes off easily when it’s time to take them down).

  4. Add spiders!

    Cut out a few tiny spiders from black felt (or black construction paper) and glue them to your webs!
