Spider's Egg Sac Decoration

arach·no·pho·bia

Pronunciation: \ə-ˌrak-nə-ˈfō-bē-ə\

Function: noun

: pathological fear or loathing of spiders

Arachnophobia is one of the most common fears among us, so it is obvious why so many decorations are based around the scary little eight-legged pests. Today I will show you how to make a spider's egg sac decoration that will make Aragog proud!

Aragog, the giant spider from the Harry
Potter series

You Will Need:

• A ball of any size (I usually use multiple golf balls for smaller sacs and one larger ball, like a softball.)
• A few pairs of white stockings (must be footed)
• "Spiderwebs"
• Fake spiders (optional)

First, cut the stockings at the length you want the egg sacs to hang. I usually cut at the knee and go shorter if I want to later. Next, you put one of the balls in the foot and hang the stocking from where you want the sac to be displayed, adjusting the length of the stocking as you go. After the stocking is secured, web it up with the "spiderweb" stuff, covering every bit of visible stocking but letting the shape of the ball still be round. Finally, you can add fake spiders to the sac, and be prepared to send all the arachnophobes running for the hills! (We really do love you!)
