Halloween decoration made birds weep jumpily (9)

I believe the answer is:

spiderweb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'halloween decoration made' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'birds weep jumpily' is the wordplay.
'birds weep' can be anagrammed to 'SPIDERWEB'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for spiderweb that I've seen is " Bed wipers (anag.)".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
