Making a Giant Spider! 🕷 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build 'Gertie,' a giant Halloween spider prop using chicken wire as a structural armature, pipe insulation for the legs, and expanding spray foam for the body texture. The build is designed to be approachable for beginners, relying on materials readily available at hardware stores. Painting and decorative detailing bring the oversized arachnid to life as a dramatic yard haunt centerpiece. The creators note that the chicken-wire-plus-foam technique is highly adaptable for many other DIY Halloween props.
