Your son has decided on a Spiderman themed party and for you that means the adventure begins way before the party starts. Decorating for a Spiderman Birthday Party can be simple or elaborate. A few simple tricks can take your party scene from drab to fab and doesn't have to cost a lot. Spiderman Party decorations are very popular and easy to come by, but if you want something different, here are a few suggestions.

Spiderman's basic colors are red, black and blue. Be sure to incorporate these colors along with spiders and web. Other notable Spiderman decorations can include the city backdrop, where he swings from building to building, the comic book and the Spiderman villains. With so many options you decoration ideas are limitless.

Background Scene Idea #1

Spiderman swings from building to building in New York City . You can replicate this effect by using large black construction paper, poster boards or cardboard. Cut different size rectangular shapes to represent the city buildings. Cut out windows in each building and tape yellow construction paper behind the board to have the lights on in the windows. Arrange the buildings in a random order to create the city skyline. Adhere to a blank wall. You can also print out Spiderman clipart and paste to the scene.

Background Scene Idea #2

Create a comic book on your wall. You can use butcher paper as your comic book medium. You can create it yourself and then add to the wall or can make it a fun activity for the party goers. Draw or paste the black comic strip boxes on the butcher paper. Using clipart or pages from a coloring book cut out the characters you want in the comic strip. The kids can color the pages before you cut them out. You can put the comic strip together in several ways

  • Assign one box to each child and have them create the comic together. The first child starts it off and each child gets to add their part of the story based. It's a creative way for the children to use their imagination. They can paste their own colored pages to the comic. Be sure to have different pages of many characters to make the story interesting.
  • Similarly you can create the scenes but leave the captions empty. Have each child fill in a caption to create the story
  • You can also use the comic stripe as a pin the Spiderman in the comic. The concept would be the same as pin the tail on the donkey. Spider Webs

    Spider webs are synonymous with Spiderman so incorporating webs into your dcor is a must. Whether you use leftover Halloween decorations or create your own webs. Spider webs can add the right touch to your party dcor. If you have time and patience and would like to create your own spider webs, here are some suggestions.

    Use crepe paper. Cut the crepe paper or streamers into long strips. Lay one strip on top of another to form an X. Now lay another strip on top of the x across the middle. Repeat the previous step but lay the strip in the other direction. You should have formed a "star" shape. Be sure to tape or glue the "star together before the next step. Now using strips half the length of the strips you used to used to make the star, tape the strips across the other strips to begin to from the web. The longer the star strips are the bigger the web will be. Glue paper spiders to the webs for an added effect.

    Spiders

    Hang plastic spiders from web and the ceiling using string.

    Decorate tables, finger sandwiches, cupcakes and more using toy spiders.

    Other Cool Decorating Ideas

    Hang Spiderman posters on walls

    Dedicate a wall to the Spiderman Villains. Enlarge clipart and hang on walls.

    Sprinkle red, black and blue confetti on tables.

    Fill up red balloons and paint Spiderman's mask on them.

    Make or purchase a life size Spiderman cut out. You can create a background scene or place a blank background. This is also a great place for photos.

    Your decorating is only limited by your imagination. Even if you can't afford to purchase the Spiderman party dcor or just choose not to, using the basic color scheme, webs and spiders are a must to create the perfect Spiderman Party scene.
