Put a spider in your garden.
Whether your objective is to scare, amuse or celebrate the beneficial garden spider, you can make your own spider yard art or buy it ready-made. Does this Spark an idea?
Sculpture
Spider sculptures made of wrought iron or sheet metal add a whimsical touch to your outdoor decor. If you like to decorate with recycled materials, look for spiders made of welded pieces of discarded metal, tools and other junkyard objects. Don't go too big, unless you want a scary sculpture.
Garden Spiders
Spiders have long been believed to be a sign of good luck. Place small spiders made of wire, plastic, metal and/or glass in your flower garden, hovering atop a stake or on the ground below the leaves.
Halloween Spiders
Spiders and spider webs are common Halloween decorations, usually hairy, over-sized black spiders hanging from trees, lining walkways and "crawling" up the side of the house. Since Halloween spider yard art is only displayed for a few weeks or less, it doesn't have to be as weatherproof as year-round art.
