First, you'll want to make a Spider Queen belt. Start by cutting off the elastic band on one of the Roman Wrist Bands and bend it so that it lays flat to create a belt buckle. Paint it silver with silver spray paint. Let fully dry.
Wrap a piece of black ribbon around your waist leaving some excess and cut it into one long strip. Then fold the ribbon in half and cut it leaving 2 pieces of ribbon that are the same length. Thread one end of a piece of ribbon through one end of the belt buckle and tie it, trimming the excess. Repeat on the other side.
Using hot glue or Glue Dots®, attach a red acrylic gem to the each of the circles on the arm cuff and attach some Plastic Spiders to the front of the belt buckle.
Next, make Spider Queen arm cuffs. Start by painting 2 of the Roman Wrist Bands silver with silver spray paint. Let fully dry.
Using hot glue or Glue Dots®, attach a red acrylic gem to the each of the circles on the arm cuffs and attach some Plastic Spiders to the front of the band.
You're done with the Spider Queen accessories for your costume. How fabulous are these! Worthy of a Spider Queen, right?
Next, make a Spider Queen crown. Using hot glue, attach red acrylic gems to the points on a Georgia Premium Tiara. Attach with hot glue one of the Spider Hanging Decorations to the inside back of the crown. Glue 3 red acrylic gems up the seam of the spider.
Next, you'll make a Spider Queen staff. Remove the stickers from the top of a Maleficent Staff and paint those areas with metallic gray paint. Let dry.
Using hot glue, attach one of the Spider Hanging Decorations to the front of the staff, then glue 3 red acrylic gems to the center of the spider.
Attach a few Scary Spiders (spray painted silver) to the staff like they are walking up the staff.
Now it's time to put the costume together. Put on the Black Skin Suit and Creepy Cloth Skirt or a long black tulle skirt. Don't pull the head piece over your head yet.
Tie the Spider Queen belt around your waist and tie it in the back. Slide the Spider Queen Arm cuffs on to each arm. TIP: If they are loose, make them tighter with a safety pin.
Pull the head piece of the black skin suit over your head and secure. Drape a piece of Creepy Cloth around your torso in a criss-cross pattern. Tie it in the back and cut off the excess. Stick lots of silver spray painted Scary Spiders all over the creepy cloth.
Place the Spider Queen crown on top of your head.
Create an arachnid spider face. Using Glue Dots®, attach 8 red acrylic gems to the front of your face.
Slip on a red jewel spider ring on one finger of each hand.
Wrap a 43" Fuzzy Spider around your back. Keep it secure by wrapping the top legs over your shoulder and under your armpits.
You're all done! What a unique and spooky DIY Halloween costume. All hail the Spider Queen!
