" A shiny black wreath fashioned out of spray-painted newspaper is a clever\u2014and easy\u2013\u2013 way to welcome trick-or-treaters. To extend its life, hang indoors. Materials   \u2022 4 wire hangers \u2022 Pliers \u2022 Newspapers (we used approx. 20 broadsheets for the wreath, plus 8 for the work surface) \u2022 Stapler and staples \u2022 Spray paint: black, brown \u2022 Ruler \u2022 Wire cutters \u2022 Fabric remnant \u2022 Scissors \u2022 Needle and thread in desired color \u2022 6&amp;quot; x 3&amp;quot; piece batting \u2022 Twine \u2022 Floral wire   Directions   1. Unwind three hangers and straighten them with pliers. Loop and twist one set of ends around each other to secure. Braid pieces, form braid into a circle and secure ends by looping and twisting.   2. Rip each individual newspaper page into quarters until you have roughly 160 pieces. Holding each piece from the center, fold into a floret shape and staple about 2&amp;quot; from the ends.   3. Starting at any point on the wire wreath except for the seam, insert florets into the braided wire, stapled end first. The braid should be tight enough to keep the paper in place.   4. In a well-ventilated area, on a newspaper-covered surface, spray wreath black. Let dry; apply a second coat. Lightly spray with brown paint to give wreath depth; let dry. Apply a final light coat of black spray paint; let dry.   5. To make the spider: Unwind remaining wire hanger and snip into four 8&amp;quot; sections. Measure and cut four 8 1/2&amp;quot; x 1/2&amp;quot; strips of fabric. Wrap around wire pieces and sew closed using a slipstitch.   6. Measure and cut a 5&amp;quot; x 2 1/2&amp;quot; piece of fabric; top with batting and sew closed using a slipstitch, folding the ends underneath and sewing them so that they are rounded.   7. Tie a piece of twine tightly about 2&amp;quot; down from one end of the cylinder, to divide the spider&amp;#039;s body into two unequal halves. Sew the legs onto the underside of the spider body. Shape legs with pliers. Attach spider to wreath with floral wire.   (Note: It&amp;#039;s best to hang this wreath indoors.) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
