Spiderweb Fascinator Tutorial

Want to be festive for Halloween but don’t want to wear a costume? Or maybe you need a subtle way to celebrate where you can’t dress up, like at work. Today’s DIY might be just right for you.

DIY wire spiderweb fascinator (Delia Creates)It’s a cute little wire fascinator that you wear like a headband…

DIY wire spiderweb fascinator (Delia Creates)If this project looks familiar, it’s because I first shared it in Jo-Ann’s Fall Lookbook which you can read more about HERE.

It’s simple and easy! My favorite kind of project. 🙂

Spiderweb Fascinator (3 of 81)1011MATERIALS

Black floral wire*
Black head band
Ruler
Needle nose pliers/wire cuter
Round nose jewelry pliers – not necessary but very helpful and they don’t scratch the paint off the floral wire as much
 

* I used Darice, 12 gauge, black aluminum floral wire

INSTRUCTIONS

edit610111. Cut three, 9″ long pieces of wire and one, 2-3″ long piece of wire.

2. Bundle three 9″ pieces of wire together with the shorter piece of wire. Use the pliers to twist and pinch everything tightly and neatly in the middle of the bundle.

3. Spread the ends of the longer wires out into spokes.

edit710114. Starting about 1 inch from the center, take your remaining wire and wrap  it around the spokes in a spiderweb like fashion. Use your round nose pliers to twist, wrap and pinch everything in place. When you make it around the spokes once, cut the wire and wrap the cut end around the spoke you started with.

5. Repeat this process again, creating larger and larger circular rows of wire until your last round is about 1 inch away from the end of the spokes.

NOTE: The wire will feel unstable at first. After adding more rows of wrapped wire, the web will stabilize and strengthen. It may also be helpful to clamp down any loose wire loops with your needle nose pliers, while working.

6. Curl the ends of the spokes under to prevent them from poking or snagging anything.

8. Touch up any scratched off paint with some craft paint or a black permanent marker.

DIY wire spiderweb fascinator (Delia Creates)All done!DIY wire spiderweb fascinator (Delia Creates)Add it to your everyday attire for a little Halloween touch, or use it as part of a full fledged costume.

Either way, it’s sure to add that extra special touch to your Halloween fashion.

    This is so creative! I love the thought of being able to wear it to a workplace where you can’t really otherwise dress up. (I’m a nurse so something like this would be perfect.)
