Impossible Creations: spider web

Time flies when you're having fun... Since I started this 365 Blog Challenge, I just don't know where the time goes. It seems like there's not enough time in the day to complete everything. I try to a new project everyday along with my household chores and splitting my time among my family, I barely find enough time just for myself. I'm not complaining because I'm really enjoying myself.

Since I made spider webs yesterday with glue and glitter, I decided today to take a battery operated candle from the Dollar Tree and mod podge it with a spider web napkin which also came from the Dollar Tree. Mind you, all of this is in my stash.

Also, I completed the glitter glue spider webs. In hindsight, I would not use wax paper, it was a pain to peel off the spider webs. I had six spider webs but one of the orange spider webs didn't peel off the wax paper right. Instead of taking so much time with it, I just threw it away. I would use a piece of glass from a picture frame being it's easier to peel up the spider webs.

Also, if you use a spider web template from the Internet, you can lay it underneath the glass and just draw the glue on top of the glass. I am going to make some more being I liked the outcome.

I showed all of them but my favorites are the orange and black spider webs. I'm hoping it will illuminate the spider webs on the candle once it's lit at night.

Lastly, I want to show you my finished Spooktacular Halloween Banner. I made some rosettes and hot glued them to the banner. I also put some red rhinestones for the skulls eyes and put some Studio G glitter glue in black on the spiders. I made do some more to it but right now I think it looks fine.

Above pic is my craft space and I think is where I'm going to hang the banner.

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my blog and Happy Crafting!

I have another creative craft project for Sab's Spooky Space Challenge and also to decorate around the house.

I made spider webs. I free handed (you can print templates to draw the glue on) the spider webs on wax paper with glue and then covered them completely with glitter. I used black, orange, purple, neon purple and neon green glitter.

I found this idea on Pinterest. But here's the link to the one I used, http://www.thriftyfun.com/Glitter-Glue-Spider-Webs.html. So brilliant and easy to do. Less than 15 minutes to do but need probably a day or two to air dry. I suppose you could use a heat gun or blow dryer to speed up the time. I tried drying with a blow dryer but after 5 minutes I found out it's going to take longer than that to dry the spider webs.

They can be used to put things on such as candles, drinks, bowls, hang them up, stick them on the windows, or use them in other Halloween projects you make.

I had fun making these and I know you will too. Here's some pics of the glitter I used, the before and after process and some close up pics.
