Thread: Spider webs

Tweet

What's the secret to getting those packaged spider webs lookin' good. Seriously. Mine always look like crap. Does someone have a tutorial?

The only thing I can suggest is to be sure to stretch them very thin, since that tends to make them look more realistic. I'm not the best at using them either, so don't feel too bad

I can never get them to look quite right. Thats why I finally decided to buy
the webcaster gun. Best halloween purchase ive made.

work with small pieces at a time and stretch it super super thin....

What about those new glow in the dark ones ??
Not the ones that need black light -
Has anyone tried?

I always tie mine to a doorknob and stretch it out first. As far as you can. Then spread as thin as possible.

Whatever you do, don't cut it with scissors!

Yea, just stretch it as thin as possible. The more you work with it, you'll eventually get the hang of it!

I put a few on my fence and my uncle was telling me to put it on every 4 pieces of wood if that is any help

I always try and stretch mine thin as others said, and in more than just one direction, meaning not flat. Like this...

They still don't look great like the ones made with a web gun do, but they are at least passable.

Agree with above, stretch them as much as possible it really takes two people to do well with both pulling in all directions. Last year I invested in web caster gun, love it for many uses, but in some cases the pre-packaged webs are more practical. When I have to use them I stretch and pull to place them as thinly as possible.
