6 Easy DIY Spider Web T-Shirts You Can Make In An Evening

As I love to DIY, I thought I would share six easy DIY Spider web t-shirts from blogs I follow or stumbled across that you can make in an evening using simple techniques with items you may have on hand or are low cost.

The above T-shirt by 100 Directions DIY Spiderweb T-shirt using Tulip Glow In The Dark Paint in under 15 minutes!  For details visit her blog here.

DIY Black Widow T-Shirt at one of my favorite blogs, Trash To Couture, using a short sleeve plain black t-shirt to make the webs to glue or sew to a long sleeve black t-shirt. Check out her instructions here,

The above project is a No-Sew T-shirt web by mmmmqc on Instructables.com that involves cutting the back then weaving the fabric to create a design.   

For the complete instructions visit Instructable.com

This fun t-shirt idea by Paint Brushes and Popsicles doesn't involve any cutting; just a t-shirt, cardboard, clips and bleach pen and simple enough for children to do with supervision. 

For the DIY visit her site here,

Here is another fun idea from Trash to Couture to make another spider web t-shirt using a plain black t-shirt.  For instructions see her site here

This DIY project by JoAnn Fabrics is just using making tape and taping down a spider web design then using Tulip Colorshot paint that they sell to spray over the top, then you just pull up the tape and you have an instant spiderweb shirt!

Artist Makes Vase Out of Colored Pencils

Youtuber Nick at NZ Woodturning created a vase out a common school supply - colored pencils, and the results are very cool.

He used 4 stacked layers of pencils around a block of wood, poured resin in the gaps, then whittled it down using a tool and a lathe, then coat with a finish to make a unique showpiece.
