1. Draw a spider web on craft paper

Grab a pencil and sketch a spider web on a sheet of craft paper. Aim for a web that's about 12 inches wide with a 6-inch opening in the center — perfect for a striking necklace. Once you're satisfied with your design, trace over your pencil lines with a dark marker.

2. Secure black tulle over the drawing

Measure and cut a piece of black tulle to fit over your spider web drawing. Gently smooth out the tulle and carefully secure it to the paper with tape.

3. Draw a spider web with dimensional paint

Secure the paper to your workspace using tape to help keep the spider web from shifting while you're drawing. Then, give the dimensional paint bottle a good shake to make sure it's well mixed. This will help avoid clumps and ensure a smooth application.

Trace the spider web by applying the paint directly onto the tulle using slow, steady, and even pressure. If the paint comes out too fast, try squeezing gently. When you're finished, let it dry for at least 24 hours before moving the spider web.

4. Remove the excess paper and tulle

Once dry, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut away the excess paper and tulle around your spider web necklace. Cut as close to the painted lines as possible.

Next, dip the spider web necklace into a pan of water and rub gently to remove the paper from the back of the necklace.

5. Attach the ribbon

To attach ribbon for holding your necklace in place, first cut a small slit in the tulle on each side of the back of the necklace. Then, slide the ends of each ribbon through the opening, fold it over, and hot glue in place.
