Craft a "Boo" Web Wreath for The Dollhouse

My 'Boo' spider web wreath is made from a recycled doily.
This wreath measures five inches across.

       I had just a few old doilies set aside, made or collected by family from former generations. Because some of them could not be repaired I decided to recycle one or two in a few Halloween crafts.

       For this craft, I used the center of a doily only. Doilies will unravel if you are not selective about where you snip the corners. 

        If you are too young to work with this kind of material, you can just as easily replace the webbing with a paper doily instead. In either case, you will need to paint the lace web black. 

       Plastic spiders are common place in the U.S. during the month of October. You can buy them in bulk from a dollar store.

       I used foam cut letters to make the 'Boo' text attached to my web. But these letters may be just as easily cut from construction paper.

Where does the word Boo come from?

• boo (interj.) from the Online Etymology Dictionary
• boo - means... from The Free Dictionary

Supply List:

• old doily with the same or similar web pattern
• black spray paint
• bright orange embroidery floss
• embroidery needle
• wire for small hoop
• orange plastic spider
• hot glue and hot glue gun
• tacky white glue (Optional for those who are using a paper doily instead.)
• red or orange foam letters, one B and two o's to spell out "Boo"

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Bend wire to craft this circular shape. The wire form used here measures five inches in diameter. This size of your wreath will be determined by how large your doily is to begin with.
2. Cut apart a doily made from yarn or paper to fit inside inside of a wire form.
3. Spray paint the faux web black.
4. I tacked my cut doily in four places with thread in order to ensure that the web was stretches evenly inside the wire hoop. 
5. Then I went back with an embroidery stitch to attach all the remaining ends. I used orange embroidery for this step. (It doesn't matter which stitch you choose to use here. Just attach the web with the stitch you are most comfortable using.)
6. If you are using a paper doily, glue it to the wire hoop using tacky white glue. Let this dry overnight before continuing on.
7. Use the tacky white glue to paste on the 'Boo' text made of foam cut letters or cardboard. Let dry.
8. I had to hot glue my fake spider to the web because it is made from molded plastic.
