Create a cute but not too scary piece of Halloween decor that kids are sure to love with this "EEK!" Halloween banner. Start by painting DIY wood banner squares in bright orange and purple. Add big black letter cutouts that really pop. Finish by accenting your banner with colorful spider details such as these pom-pom spiders and spider bendables.

Assemble two spiders from the pom-pom spider craft kit. Use hot glue to provide an extra hold between the adhesive layers. Glue each spider to one of the purple painted wood banners.
