The spookiest DIY spiderwebs for Halloween
It's been nothing but Halloween crafts in our house for the past week, but with still another week to go, I'm stockpiling ideas to keep the kids busy. Next up on my list: these adorable spiderwebs that only require scissors and paper. 
You won't believe how easy these DIY spiderweb kirigami Halloween decorations are to make, and how cute they'll look hanging on your window or strung together in a fun banner. If you don't have origami paper, you can cut the paper you have into squares. Then you and your kids can follow the simple instructions and boo! You've got the perfect Halloween decoration, and one that doesn't involve glitter or glue. -Kristen
You can get the full DIY Spiderweb tutorial on Omiyage Blogs. And you'll find plenty of Halloween craft ideas and decorations on our site as well as on our Halloween Coolness pinterest board.
