Halloween Welcome Sign for a Front Porch 2012 Ideas from HGTV
This project is easy and inexpensive and certainly one in which the kids can help. We took a thrift-store frame, wrapped the inside with yarn and cotton to make it look like a spider web. Then spiders and a "Welcome" message were hung within the webbing.

Paint the Frame
Paint the frame black and let it dry.
Nail and Pad the Back
On the back of the frame, along the edge, hammer in the small wire nails. Insert the nails so only about a 1/4" is sticking out of the frame.
Place the felt pads on the back of the frame along the corners so the nails will not scratch the house or door.
String the Yarn
Wrap the yarn on the wires going back and forth across the frame in a random pattern. Tie off the yarn periodically.
Add Webbing
Behind the yarn, stretch out some of the white cotton material along the same nails.
Place Your Message
Place the letters in a random pattern onto the yarn, close enough together so you can read the word "Welcome". We used self-adhesive, store-bought letters, but you can print out your own message on sticky paper.
Add Spiders
Place the spiders along the front and tuck into the yarn and webbing.
