I was at the dollar store a few weeks ago and picked up some doilies. (I’m obsessed, even have a work in progress Pinterest board.) I had no specific plans for them, until Macy walked in after school and said “Hey! Those look like spider webs!”
I stitched from the center to each doily point and then continued on to the edges of my pillow front piece.
Once the doily was stitched in place, I took some spider rings (also from the dollar store) and cut off the ring part. I tacked them onto the pillow by sewing around the 2 middle legs on each side, like this,
only with actual thread instead of yellow bars. Those suckers are on there GOOD and I’m certain they’ll stay put.
Since I already had the orange fabric (IKEA clearance) and the pillow form, this project cost me about $1.25.
Not bad, right?
Do you have Halloween décor out yet?
Have you nailed down costume ideas?

This is adorable! I swear, you always have the best ideas here. This is definitely one of my favorite blogs to read!
this is so cool! i haven’t even started thinking about halloween yet! thanks for linking to you pinterest boards. i am so bad about looking up the people i want to follow. thanks for making it easier for me!
Oh, all my Halloween decor is out. I’m a costume failure though. My kid hated what I made him last year, so it’s storebought for us!
I love this!! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love this, Char!
This is a pretty genius idea. If you took off the spiders after Halloween maybe you could make the doily look like a snowflake? Except the pillow is orange. Well, maybe you’ll just have to make some new pillows that have doily snowflakes on them.
Char, this is too cute!! I love the little spiders. Fabulous job my friend!
This is so cute it’s ridiculous! Love it! PIN!

I got eager with my comment. Please tell Macy that she must have gotten her creative gene from her mom and thanks for inspiring you.
Really cute…even with the spiders. I totally detest them…they are just about everywhere where I live in the warm/hot months.
Love it. Thanks for sharing
Very clever indeed. Love the doily and the spiders! Had a great time hanging with you all weekend!
I’m so going to have to make that! It’s simple and awesome!
Genius idea! I have done absolutely nothing to decorate for fall/halloween yet. I just get online and think about what I *might* do.
I couldn’t resist commenting
