I like to spookify a section of our house every year while the kids are at school, they love the surprise when they come home.? One year I painted a ghost on the mirror above the mantel, and another year I made glowing eyes Halloween art.
This year I decided that while they were away, big black spiders would invade the family room bookcases, and bring some feathered friends.? Since I painted the built ins white this year, they were the perfect candidate for some black and white Halloween fun.
?
The glittery spider webs were a DIY project and I used craft supplies from Martha Stewart?s collection to create them.
?
?
To make them, all you need is wax paper, craft glue, and some black glitter, scissors to trim the wax paper, and a Xacto knife to cut them out in the end (not shown).
?
Sketch the web design with a marker or freehand it like I did with craft glue.? Scatter glitter on top to form the glittery web and allow to dry for 24 hours.
?
Once the webs have dried, trim between the webbing carefully with a Xacto knife or craft cutter on top of a cutting board.
?
I used these inexpensive foam mounting dots to adhere the webs to the bookshelves, but if your shelves are not white, clear glue dots should work too.
?
I learned the thinner your line of glue the more delicate the web is but it can get unstable if too thin, so keep your glue line thicker for a sturdier web that can span 12-16 inches.
?
Here they are on display, creeeeeeepy !
?
The spiders crept into the niche too and made themselves at home on the family photo.
?
EEEEEEEEK!
We?ve been invaded!
