Step 1: Stretch It to Full Length
Remove the fake spiderweb material from its packaging and unfold or unroll it to determine where its long ends are. Grab one end while a friend grabs the other, then stretch the piece out as long as it will go. There’s no need to stretch it to its full width yet.
Step 2: Trim to Desired Length
Figure out how long the piece needs to be by measuring the shrub or other object where you plan to put the web. Measure that same length on the fake spiderweb material and cut it using scissors. Start pulling the fake webbing out to make it wider, working your fingers through the material to make it thin enough to resemble spider webs.
Step 3: Securing the Fake Spiderwebs
Spread the fake spiderweb out over the area you wish to decorate. If covering a large area such as the top of a bush, get a friend to help. Tug at the webbing in different areas to make it look realistic as you set it in place. If hanging the webbing on wooden elements of your home, secure it with thumbtacks or even a staple gun. On shrubs, simply pull some of the plant sprigs through the webbing’s edge areas to ensure the webs stay put even during winds.
Step 4: Cut and Add More Webbing
Inspect the web-covered area to determine whether that spot needs another layer, as pulling the web too thin sometimes makes it hard to see from a distance. Cut another piece to the same approximate size and add it atop the first layer as needed. Feel free to just add the webbing near the first, or angle it in a different way to make it look like a second spider created a web in the same general area.
Step 5: Add Webs and Spiders
Continue decorating the area with fake spiderwebs in different lengths. If using them outdoors and expecting trick-or-treaters, place more webbing in areas they’ll see up close, such as exposed locations above porch railings. Pepper the area with tiny plastic spiders; if you have a bunch, the kiddos can take some home, too. Place oversized spiders atop the bushes, over or near their webbing, securing them in place with floral wire so they don’t blow away or fall. Choose one or two huge and extra creepy or cute fake spiders, then tie a piece of monofilament fishing line to either the head or back end. Dangle the spider from a highly visible location near one of the fake spider webs, securing the line with a loop tied around a plant hook, or by using a thumbtack. For even more Halloween fun, dangle a fake spider in the area above where you keep the Halloween goodies during trick-or-treat.

Pull stretchy spider web across the room Stretchy spider web is the stuff that comes wadded up in small plastic bags which you can get pretty inexpensively everywhere around Halloween. (You can buy it from Amazon HERE*, if they don’t have it in your local stores). Don’t let that small package fool you. It will stretch a long way.
How to make fake cobwebs look good
Stretchy spider webs need to be stretched really thin to look good I like to use it where you would normally see cobwebs in an abandoned house…close to the ceiling, around cabinets, bookshelves and light fixtures. However, to make it look right, you need to stretch it all the way out and tease the strands apart to prevent them from clumping. And when I say stretch and tease, I mean stretch until it won’t stretch any more and then make sure to pull any clumped strands apart. You should never need more than one bag of stretchy spider web to decorate a room.
How to hang spider webs
Pull it from one side of the room to the other, catching it on anything that will hold it for a more natural effect. The corners of light fixtures, book cases, curtain rods and kitchen cabinets work well. 
If you don’t have convenient places to hook the stretchy spider web on to, try using velcro dots*. You can stick them where you want them, stretch the spider web to it, and then put the other half of the velcro dot on top…it’s amazing how well they hold!
2 | Make your mirrors look creepy
Make your mirrors look creepy I just love the look of spider webs on mirrors. There’s something about seeing a reflection that’s broken up by the web that looks so spooky. You only need a tiny piece of stretchy spider web to do this. 
I hook one end around one corner of the mirror, and pull it down or across to the opposite corner. Then stretch it out to hook over the other two corners and let it go where it wants. Tease apart any clumps and you’re done. You’ll end up with different looks on every mirror.
3 | Decorate your chandelier
Using stretchy spider web around the chandelier in my dining room is another of my favorite ways to decorate for Halloween. Sometimes I’ll use it all by itself. A few strands pulled down from the ceiling look pretty effective. Other times I’ll add things to the chandelier (like skulls and Spanish moss). Then I’ll usually do a thicker cobweb look so that it doesn’t get overshadowed by the other decorations. Find out more about decorating your chandelier for Halloween.
