We did a spider theme a couple years ago. We used white trashbags filled with whatever we had around the house. Packing material like packing peanuts, bubble wrap, newspapers.. anything to give them a more rounded, bulky, bloated appearance.

Them we wrapped webbing all around those and kind of strung long webs to the others. Like the spider had gone from one victim to the next. We put quite a few small spiders over the cocoons to simulate lil baby spiders needing to feed. Hehe. Best part, it's all water proof. So no need to bring them in. You can also place a heavy rock or brick in "cocoon" to keep them from flying away.

We had a lil bouncy toy in one of them and the batteries seemed to last for a good long while. If you can manage to get something motion activated that will make just one of the cocoons jump a bit every once in awhile amongst the others, it would make for a fantastic scare!
