How to Make a Spider Web Window Cling
Supplies needed to make your own glow-in-the-dark spider web window clings:
- Glow In The Dark Mini Glue Sticks
- Adhesive Technologies Glue Gun
- Clear or see thru silicone mat
- Spider rings
- AdTech Crafter’s Removable Tape
- Cutting mat with squares or printout of spider web as a guide
You can watch the short 6-minute video below and see me make one of these glow-in-the-dark spider web window clings LIVE!
Just in case you can’t follow along with the video, here are some brief instructions:
Place your clear silicone mat over a cutting mat with squares or a printout of a spider web (this is just acting as a guide).
Use the glow in the dark glue sticks to make a web on the silicone mat. First, make a plus, then an X, and then connect those with hexagon-like shapes.
Cut the “ring” portion off the spider and add it to the web with a little hot glue. Go over each intersection with some additional glue to secure it. DO NOT worry about glue strings! It’s supposed to be a spider web, so the more “webby,” the better!
Allow to cool for a few minutes and remove from the silicone mat. Place it on your window.
IMPORTANT: I tried these several times on a window and glass frame before shooting this video. HOWEVER, after leaving them out overnight, NOT on a window, they WOULD NOT stick to the surface. I am not sure if it was dust or if this will happen when they are on a window. Just use a little removable dry adhesive on the back if this happens to you. They are light, and a little will stick them right on your window. The adhesive will not harm your window at all and can be removed after the season is over.
I stuck these on a window to take a picture and just now realized that there was an ACTUAL spider web on the outside of the window! Y’all enjoy….just keeping it real!
I hope you have enjoyed this fun project and will try one of these fun glow-in-the-dark spider web window clings for yourself. These will make a great addition to your spooky Halloween decor!
