Spinning a Hot Glue Spider Web or silk for a Floral Cocoon

To create a spider web or cocoon you will need a hot glue gun and two small blocks of Styrofoam

Press out a good amount of glue onto two pieces of Styrofoam

Press the two pieces together and slowly pull apart to create long glue strands.

Wrap the glue strands over your design for a natural looking web.

Raindrops on the spider web:

To create the raindrops: spray the glue web with water
