Glow in the Dark Spider Balls

HOW SUPER COOL ARE THESE!!!

This is probably one of the easiest crafts I’ve done and I even got the kids involved. Check out how to make a really neat Halloween decoration!

Pin It

What You’ll Need

String/Yarn
Elmer’s Glue
Vaseline
Glow in the Dark Spray Paint (found it at the Party City)
Fake Spiders
Balloons

1) My little helpers spread Vaseline over the balloons to ensure the glue and string doesn’t stick to the balloon.

2) Next run the string through the glue and your fingers to remove the excess glue. Tip: cut the string into manageable strips.

3) Place the string/yarn around the balloons.

4) Allow the glue to dry.

5) Pop the balloon.

6) Spray on the Glow and the Dark and hot glue the spiders on. Tip: I used the spider rings and clipped off the ring parts.

Give it a whirl it is a really fun thing to do with the kids!

These are so fun and cute! I love them! I am thinking about making some – the glow in the dark spray really adds a lot. I have a party going on over at my blog that is dedicated to using your craft stash items. The link is open for most of October and I would love to have you join!

Love this idea! Definitely super-cool…my son would think they were awesome [except that he's afraid of spider at the moment...lol]. I'd be thrilled if you'd share it here:

I love these. The addition of the glow in the dark spray paint was genius! This seems like it was a lot of fun for the kids. Mine would have loved smearing the Vaseline. I am a new Twitter Follower from the Sunday Showcase. Vicky from http://www.messforless.net

That is super creative. When I saw the picture, I assumed it would be too complicated for my kids to do, but thanks to your instructions and pictures, it might be something we try soon!

What a great idea for a outdoor party! How long did the glowin last?

  Hey!
  I didn’t even think about putting them outside, but I LOVE that idea!! the glowing lasts about 12 hours while it decreases as the night wears on. I had them on my dining room chandelier and I remember walking through the house around 3 or 4 in the morning because one of the kids woke up and I did a double take in the dining room because they were glowing and it took me aback.
  I’d love to see how you use them in the yard – send pics please
  Thanks!
