The classic garland graduates from cute craft to creepy decor with this template for spiders.
Steps
- Cut a 5''W x 18''L strip from a 12''W x 18''L sheet of construction paper. Measure in three inches from one of the five-inch ends and mark. From there, measure and mark four more times.
- Fold paper at the first mark. Then flip over and fold again at the next mark. Keep flipping and folding, making an accordion shape.
- Print the spider template and cut as directed.
- Center it atop the folded paper, and trace around the shape with a pencil.
- Carefully cut out the shape, going through all the layers of folded paper, and unfold to reveal. To create a longer row, repeat steps and adhere garlands together with tacky glue.

The PDF template
If you print the PDF on colored paper and cut out the pieces, you'll have enough parts to make two bows. Or you can just freehand cut some pieces like I did originally; I folded my paper in half so that both sides of the bow would by symmetrical when I cut. Sort of like you do when cutting out paper hearts, you know?
Anyhow, whether you wing it or use the template, you'll need three parts for each bow: the bank in the middle, the loops, and the tails.
Grab the two outer tabs on the ''loops'' piece, bend them to the center, and glue them down.
Layer the loops piece on top of the tails with a dot of glue, then wrap the band around the center and secure it in the back with a little more glue. All done!

This is such a great way to reuse old pillows and pillowcases that would otherwise collect dust in the closet or end up in the trash.
It's such an extremely easy DIY that there's honestly no point in purchasing an already constructed floor cushion.
Instructions:
Sew them together at the seams, leaving the openings clear so you can later insert pillows.
You can either leave the sides open or better yet, add snap buttons so the pillows stay put, but are easy to remove when you need to wash them.
