How to Draw a Spiderweb
Step by Step by easy peasy and fun
Here I included a link to a how-to-draw a spiderweb for quick reference if needed. I freehanded my own. However, this may be useful to you if needed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1
YOU WILL NEED TO CUT 8 STRANDS OF YARN. START BY ADDING YOUR FIRST STRAND OF YARN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PILLOW IN A STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE BY STITCHING THE YARN INTO YOUR PILLOW WITH 3 STRANDS OF EMBROIDERY FLOSs. DO SO ONLY WHERE NEEDED TO HOLD THE YARN IN PLACE.
ROWS 2 and 3 NEED TO BE AT 30-DEGREE ANGLES EACH, AND ROWS,4 and 5 need to be at 20-DEGREE ANGLES EACH. FYI: make sure to LEAVE blank SPACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PILLOW SO THAT YOUR SPIDER DOESN'T BLEND INTO THE YARN ON THE top RIGHT SIDE.
STEP 2
For THE LAST THREE STRANDS OF YARN, YOU WILL need to TUCK THEM ALL VERTICALLY UNDERNEATH THE HORIZONTAL STRANDS AND BEGIN MAKING A WAVY WEB PATTERN BY STITCHING THE YARN INTO the PILLOW WITH 3 STRANDS OF EMBROIDERY FLOSS, AGAIN. ONLY WHERE NEEDED TO HOLD YARN PATTERN IN PLACE. I DID NOT NEED TO SEW THE FLOSS INTO EACH STRAND FULLY, JUST HERE AND THERE WHERE NEEDED.
STEP 3
NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS FIND A ROOM IN THE HOUSE TO DISPLAY YOUR NEW HALLOWEEN-INSPIRED spiderweb PILLOW. DON'T FORGET TO COMPLETE THE LOOK BY ADDING AN OVERSIZED PLUSH SPIDER-- EEK!
AS ALWAYS. I HOPE YOU GIVE THIS DIY A TRY AND DON'T FORGET TO TAG ME IF YOU'RE ON INSTAGRAM @KNOTJUSTPAPER FOR A CHANCE TO BE FEATURED IN MY STORIES! UNTIL NEXT TIME — HAPPY CRAFTING!
