Black Widow Paper Rosette

Create a fun black widow paper rosette with colorful orange and black strips of Halloween paper.

These would make great party decorations and you could also use bats, ghosts, or jack-o-lanterns.

This rosette is small, but you can make them larger, too.

Supplies.

Orange, Black, Yellow, and Green Halloween Paper

Small Piece of Cardboard

Scissors

Scoring Tool

Hot Glue

Small Spider (I used one from a spider ring.)

How to Make a Black Widow Paper Rosette.

1. Decide in what order you want to build your rosette colors.

Create a black widow paper rosette with orange and black strips of Halloween paper. By Crafty Journal.

It works best to have a light color on top if you’re going to use a spider or bat, and a dark color on top if you plan to use a ghost or pumpkin.

2. The bottom rosette will be the largest.

Cut 3 orange strips that are 3 inches wide by 12 inches long.

3. Score them every half inch.

Fold back and forth on the score lines to make a fan fold.

After the strips are all folded and well creased, tape them end to end,

and then join the other ends into a circle.

4. For the black rosette, cut two strips 2 inches wide by 12 inches long.

Score, fan fold, and crease like the orange one.

Glue the strips together (or use double sided tape), and then glue in a circle.

5. Cut 2 circles from cardboard (I used a cracker box).

Make one circle about 3 inches in diameter, and the other circle about 2 inches in diameter.

They don’t need to be perfect circles as they won’t be seen.

6. Cut a 2 inch diameter circle from the yellow paper.

7. To put the rosettes together, start with the 3 inch circle of cardboard.

Put some hot glue on it and then lay the orange rosette on the glue, orange side up. Push it together in the middle so the center hole is small.

This is what it looks like on the bottom side.

Put hot glue on one side of the 2 inch cardboard circle and attach the circle to the center of the orange rosette.

8. Put hot glue on the top of the 2 inch cardboard circle and press the black rosette onto it.

Put hot glue on the bottom side of the yellow paper circle and center it on the black rosette.

9. Cut the spider off a spider ring and hot glue it to the center of the yellow circle.

10. To hang the black widow paper rosette, use a needle to attach thread to the top of the rosette and tie a knot in the thread.

Or scatter rosettes down the center of a table.

This would also make a great package decoration, or to attach to a treat bag.

Tips.

You can just fan fold the strips without scoring them, but it is easier to make them more uniform if you score first.

You can buy larger spiders at the Dollar Store or make your own.

    I always have a problem getting my rosette to lay down, duh. What am I doing wrong? this is really cute decoration. Might just have to try it anyway. Give to daughter for their house, they have 2 teenage girls ( and son in law is big kid at 50).

    Rosettes are a little troublesome to make lay down. Try finding a lid or other round container with a bit of an edge that’s just about the size of the rosette. Lay the cardboard circle in the middle of it, add glue to the center of the cardboard circle, and then lay the rosette on it. This may help to make it a little easier.

    It’s the scoring step that I usually rush through and now I see how important it is to the finished design. Thank you!
