You can get wadding or batting in most craft shops. it is used for stuffing but can also be made into fake cobwebs really easily. And the best bit is, after Halloween is over you can re-use the cobwebs to stuff something!

Instructions

    Tear off a long strip of wadding. it doesn't matter if it is wider at one end than the other and the rougher the edges are the better.

  2. Small articlepictures 023 1252530873

    Use your fingers to tease apart the fibres in the wadding, making long fluffy strands.

    Once you have teased it enough that it looks like cobwebs, drape it over objects for a creepy, aged effect. You could also hang it from the ceilings or over doorways. Please note: wadding is made from manmade fibres so is highly flammable and should be kept away from candles and heat.
