Having worked in Shinoda Design Center warehouses for a quarter century now, I have learned a tip or two. I am not sure of this tip's origins. I just know that most designers seem to know it and thought I would pass it along. Have you ever seen a Halloween display and wondered how the cobweb effect was created? I am not talking about the cotton or thread factory created kinds. The kind that wrap figurines and have a much more random weave. Here is what you need: two blocks of styrofoam, a hot glue pan, and the hot glue pan chips to place in the pan. Turn on the glue pan letting the glue heat and turn to liquid. Dip one block of styrofoam into it. Next, take the block of styrofoam and with the glue side facing down, push it against the other block of styrofoam. Pull them apart, and voila! You should have a web that has been created between the two blocks of styrofoam. Quickly rub the ends of the web onto whatever you would like it to be on.

Hope this helps!
