It's time to do some prep work for your Halloween gatherings! I like to start early on creating new pieces for every occasions. The earlier you start, the more time you have to play around with your design and placement and fill any holes you may have.
Tammy of She Wears Flowers gives a great tutorial on how to make a spider plate. You just need a plate, a bowl or stand, some pipe cleaners, googling eyes and glue. This is a great elevation piece for your holiday table!
Don't forget, you may be able to find the plate and bowl/stand at Goodwill. BUT.. if you are planning on using this for food, you should not get something and plan to spray paint. Goodwill/Thrift items would be perfect to spray paint if you're using this piece to stack favors, pumpkins or other non-edibles.
Did you see the lowe's creative idea where you can use those glass tulip light covers and paint ghost faces on them to make cute little votive holders for a halloween party or for decorations?
they were adorable. Lowe's has a ton of ideas on their creative ideas page.
