What better way to greet your guests than with a spooky spiderweb Halloween doormat at your front door? This one glows in the dark, so your spider can greet guests and kids who come to trick or treat throughout the Halloween season. It's an easy project and makes for a great last-minute decoration.

Draw the Spiderweb
Draw a line across the horizontal center of the mat with chalk or a light-colored crayon. Draw a second line down the vertical center. Divide each section into thirds and make a mark. Connect each mark with a curved line, and then a line from the mark to the center. Make several rows of these curved lines.

Outline the Spiderweb Drawing
Follow the drawn lines with your choice of glow-in-the-dark dimensional paint or glow-in-the-dark hot melt glue. Don't worry if the lines are not completely straight, as slightly wiggly lines will look more authentic.
Add Some Glitter
Place some paper under the project before you start to make the cleanup process easier. Sprinkle glitter over the lines while they are still damp. Let it dry overnight.
Make the Spider
Draw a spider shape on the black felt and cut it out with scissors.
Decorate the Spider
Use purple glitter to line the edge of the spider cutout. You can also further decorate the spider to add some Halloween flare or match your autumnal home decor. Attach the spider to the mat with hot melt glue after the mat has dried completely.
