this guy is GREAT !!!!! ! I have total respect for him and what he does. I THINK all his videos are fantastic, and cannot say enough about them and him
. THANK YOU , ISAAC ALEXANDA ! keep up the great videos and ideas !
WOW! This is honestly so amazing and creative. The attention to detail is mindblowing.
Amazing! Best one I've seen. Wish I had the time and money for it this year! Hopefully next year. Thanks for sharing how you put it together to inspire the world of Halloween haunters!
Creepy cool, great job 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂
Great video! I’m def gonna make this. I think using the spray foam on the entire legs will make it look even better!
I think that is a good assessment. I should have done the entire legs with foam but I didn’t know how it’s going to turn out so I just kept it with half the leg.
!!! IMPRESSSSSSSIVE !!!
That's my Halloweem theme for this year. Giant Spider Web with Spiders .
However nothing this GIGANTIC !
Man!!! You‘ve got a incredible Talent!!!!
Although I’m terrified of spiders and i had to come down off the heart attack i got off coming across this on TikTok, this was dope!!
Thank you!
Just saw this on your TikTok and want to say again this is sooooo coool!!!!!!
Yo thank you for the sweet comment! You the best
Will you be making a new video soon? I have all the materials...just need the measurements. Thanks 💜
Thanks so much for this! We totally want to try it. Great video!
Thank you! Definitely give it a go!
Mind blowing piece 💯
This is so amazing! I love all your DIY’s
Thank you so much!
Love this! So creative !
Fantastic!
Thank you Noel!
turned out so amazing!
OMG you are so so talented enjoying watching your video that spider was huge.
Thank you so much Alexander
Sooo creative! Loveeeet!
This Spider DIY is one of my top favorites. I think of Harry Potter because of it. Wait that's the inspiration! Duh. Love it man. So cool. Such a fan of your decor! 😎 🤩 😏
Great job.. With the hair you could've saved significantly. Kanakelon or other braiding hair from beauty supply cost about four bucks. Just keep in mind if you make another.
yeah the price tag on this was WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for a DIY. Looks awesome though....
That’s a great tip! I didn’t know this. Thank you so much.
@@DeathstarsEG haha if you think this was expensive, you should see my latest video
Amazing! I am a huge Harry Potter Stan!
Perfect Halloween idea!!!
Whoa- looks like it came straight out of a horror film!
This is crazy! Awesome job!
Thank you Brandy!
This is so fab !! You nailed it
Thanks man
This is awesome.
Great idea! Man you definitely put in work on this one
spray foam texture on the legs was very clever.
Thanks Chad! Definitely use a lot of it
Cool!!!!
Very cool! Definitely have to give it a try for Halloween 2021!!
Thx for sharing
Isaac by far your legs are the coolest I have seen can you give measurements on the lengths of your pipes for each leg? Thanks and great job
Thank you! I’m actually making a new spider tutorial with better measurements. It’ll be out in a few weeks
@@IsaacAlexanderDIYplease that I will be amazing
When you said $375 I was like WHATTTTT!?!! I had to immediately look at the supply list. After I saw the fur and wigs prices, I see where $$$$ went!
It is indeed the biggest spider I’ve seen anywhere online, and the fur/wigs do add to the overall realistic look.
So now that you’ve done one, how would you do it differently? Dollar store wigs and spray paint? 😂 jk
Haha 😂
Yea cheap wigs are still expensive when bought in bulk. Honestly the wigs were so expensive cause I needed so many! The rest was pvc and foam and nothing crazy
Great job! Amazing work!
Really creepy...I love it!
I'm just jealous I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video, lol I might get banned, the webs and the spider, amazing plus the pumpkins,
You should do a tutorial about how you did those huge webs last year. :)
Looks like beef Netting hehehe Pretty!
LOVE IT! So cool
Very very good spider. I was a bit confused though. All your other tutorials are mostly in real time with a very good explanation of each step. This one was very different, and for me, impossible to follow or try to duplicate. Any chance we could get this tutorial with better instruction?
What sizes did you cut the PVC leg pieces to?
Have someone hold the 45 or 90 pvc fitting where you would like it height wise and measure inside the hub to the ground lining it up with the angle of the fitting. Easy
Amazing. I'm inspired to try
Do it! It’s so worth it
I don't like spiders hahaha, but this idea is so cool!!
Omg this was great!
Great spider! I have seen your videos of your pumpkins carved out of foam blocks and you used a foam block for the spider's head. Is there a reason why you didn't use foam blocks for the spider body?
That's so cool
Awesome build!
With decorations like this, do you turn off your sprinklers for the month of October, so they don't get ruined?
Sorry for the late reply. Just seeing this. Yes I turn off my sprinklers at the end of September and my grass gets pretty trampled lol I fix it in the spring
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY No problem. I appreciate the reply. I always wonder this for big decorations (or decorations in general) cause I do the same thing lol. Thanks again.
Next year can't come soon enough going to attempt making this
I know right? I’m already setting my sights on what I’ll make this October :)
I would love an actual plan. Like what sized did U cut everything... etc.
He looks amazing but I would like one about half his size. Haha
I’ve actually considered remaking one because I didn’t do a good job at explaining it. It was my first UA-cam video and I really didn’t know what I was doing so it was very condensed.
Amazing! I’m going to try to make this. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hopefully it turns out good, this is my first UA-cam video so the tutorial isn’t that detailed, but if you need any assistance I’m here to answer your questions
Could you give us the measurements used?
THIS! 🙌🏼🤩
THANK YOU
This is so cool! shame I'm scared of spiders hehe
How are you getting such great coverage from your lighting in the ending shots of this video? We are struggling with our black light placement.
I think the issue is that you’re using black light. I’m using LED color floodlights. I have two flood lights facing the house which illuminate it in that way. Here’s what I used LED Flood Light Outdoor 800W Equivalent 8000LM Smart RGB Landscape Lighting with APP Control, DIY Scenes - Timing - Warm White 2700K - Color Changing Uplight, IP66 Waterproof US Plug MELPO(2Pack) a.co/d/b5IY5o2
I saw one of these under the stairs once, pretty scary.
How did you do the webbing? I know it’s probably pretty simple, but it’s so effective!
It’s called beef-netting. It’s sold online by Trenton Mills. I bought 10 pounds of the poly/cotton mixture. In order to make the holes, you need to have very sharp scissors or an X-Acto knife to cut slits into the fabric after it’s been stretched out.
Здравствуйте.А как вы сделали паутину? Или это ткань такая уже готовая продаётся?
Wow you are amazing 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Thank you so much!
this is so cool! how long did it take you?
Just found this DIY and I'm excited to give it a spin! How did the beach ball and foam hold up for shape? Any tips for storage? I've also seen chicken wire versions and I'm wondering if it collapses on itself.
It’s a great project to make😊. The beach ball doesn’t stay inside, I pop it with a knife and remove it after the expanding from has dried. This is the third year I’ll be using it and the beach ball expanding foam body has done amazing
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Thanks so much for the reply! I've used the foam before but not for crafting so I wasn't sure. I appreciate your creativity and the awesome videos!
Hello folks:
It looks like now the right to start the build
Last year two days before Halloween wasn't enough time.
For me its the idea just to get there no way it will be perfect. Ill be using things i find on trachcan days.
• four sets of tent pole will be paper towel rolls. Contact cement for whatever i use for legs black wool or your idea.
• body black garages bags stuffing newspaper. Non eatable.
-• good old duck tape. Im Canadian " Red Green Show "
Old 1x6 old fencing spilt in 3 for old farm fence from 1800's theme.
It has the done cheap landlord issues.
Barbie car and a firetruck for some scary mood setting.
A frame with black bedding over= hunted house smoke in the walkway machine.
I done this on my school bus the little ones love it. Get 100 in tips total cost 10 bucks
Save half of the lights for the added on Xmas theme with 20 stuff toys all from thrift store.black thick webbing at back of the bus " go to jail don't get 200"
Maybe put some smaller spidees on the 🕸 web and skeleton bones here and there. I love the web how did you make that?
Where did you get the body material like the hair and what are your leg dimensions I'm making all kinds of stuff this year for mine
Any way you could give us a measurement of one leg for each bend of the leg??
Thats so awesome !!! HFL!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Isaac this is awesome. Would you consider making me one if I purchased it from you?
How long of pvs pipes did u use and what size did u cut them to
How many wigs and how much fur did you use? Also, was it a fur rug or blanket? I’m starting to purchase materials now…. Yeah I know I’m a bit early for Halloween! 🤪
Nevermind, I found the fur fabric. How many yards did you use? Is 3 yards enough?
👍
Awesome build! Do you have a full supply list? How many wigs? Size and amount of PVC? Amount of fake fur? Thanks!
Unfortunately this was my first UA-cam video and I didn’t really know how to make a proper one 😞. I don’t have a detailed supply list only that I used about 10 cheap wigs that I cut up.
Depending on the size of the spider abdomen, I ended up using about 6 yards of fur fabric. PVC was size 1 1/2 inch but I don’t remember measuring the legs to get an exact measurement and I just cut sizes that I think would be appropriate size. I’m going to probably have to remake this spider with detailed measurements.
Awesome job what is the spider web netting you use in the background please and thanks 😊
It’s called beef netting. Sold by Trenton Mills. I use about 15lbs of it and made the holes with an exacto knife
How did you format the pincher? I didn't see that,was it carved w the foam? & whered u find foam like that?
Hey Ken,
It’s carved from styrofoam blocks (like the one that’s shown in the beginning of the video). I found the blocks for free on Facebook Marketplace BUT the Tractor Supply Store sometimes gives them away for free). I carved the pincer out with a hot knife. Then I covered it with faux fur from Amazon
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Thanks I figured that's where you got them.
This thing would give me nightmares. You did a great job but keep this far away from my yard.
Haha thank you!
SIC
What are the cut lengths?
I want one plzzzz
I would like to see how this was done just like the witch was done thank you watching your videos
Most likely I will remake the spider in a few months so that I can publish a new video. It was my first UA-cam video ever and I really didn’t know what I was doing lol
Do you have the full video for this spider?
I’m releasing a new, detailed version next month
How did u attach the head to the body and cover the foam showing ?
I made a new video on how to make the spider. Check out last years Halloween video tutorials to see a more detailed look on how to make one
How dose the fur and wigs Handel wind and rain I live in Mc so we have occasionally rain in October
This will be the 3rd year I use it and it looks the same. The fur dries in the sun and it doesn’t smell moldy. We get rainy October’s here and it’s been fine
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY thanks
I have been looking for large blocks of Styrofoam . I know you said it was free but do you know where it came from .
In another video he mentioned Tractor Supply, or to search FB Marketplace. 👍
how do you store these when it’s not the holidays?
It all comes apart. So it’s easy to take apart the legs and head
I'd do anything for you...except watch a video with a giant spider in it haha
Haha well it’s a huge one so it’s probably good that you didn’t watch it.
What is your web made of, and where do you purchase it at?1
It’s called beef netting. I made the holes with scissors. It’s sold by Trenton Mills
Where did you get your web?
It’s from Trenton Mills, it’s called beef netting
What was the total weight of it?
Weighed about 40 lbs. it’s lightweight
Creepy
How did u format the Pinchers I didn't see that?
