Raise your hand if you’re ready to start a new week… I have mixed feelings on the issue. I’ve had such a nice weekend with the family, nothing special, just nice. It’s been one of those weekends that you just don’t want to end. On the other hand, I have a list full of projects that I’m so excited to start working on for the Holidays and I’m excited for the week to start. Either way, Monday is on it’s way.

I hope everyone had a chance to go through last weeks Friday Flair link party. There were so many fun ideas linked up. Here are a few that caught my eye…

simple thanksgiving bunting /// my fabuless life

candy bar ice cream /// your homebased mom

industrial room makeover /// design dining & diapers

sour dough bread bowls /// half baked harvest

diy photo frame clip /// a woman’s haven

Styled by Tori Inspiration

With the crafting season in full swing everyone is looking for great new ideas to share with family and friends. I’ve talked about them before but I have fallen in love with the Styled by Tori line of fashion accessories. I have all kinds of ideas up my sleeve right now for the holidays, but I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas that I’ve found so far…

With Halloween so close I thought I would place this one first, you can file it away for next year. Amy from Positively Splendid used a lovely piece from the Styled by Tori collection to create this fun spider web pillow.

Amy also created these felt poppies and lace brooches that I just ADORE!!

Heidi from Sew.Craft.Create created this whole nautical set with Styled by Tori and it’s just divine!

I love this bracelet from Christina at Intimate Weddings… Truly a classic piece.

Christina also made these stylish Styled by Tori napkin rings that would be PERFECT for your Thanksgiving tables.

I’ve always admired Megan from Brassy Apple’s style and she takes it to a new level with her Styled by Tori creations. Her cluster brooch and cuff bracelets would dress any ensemble up!

What have you been working on with all of the fun Styled by Tori products? I would love to see what you’ve been working on!! Visit the Styled by Tori Facebook page for even more inspiration. Then you can visit your local Michaels or Jo-Anns to stock up on supplies for all that winter crafting!!

Cute Little Spooky Spiders for Halloween Decor

52 · Oct 29, 2012 · 9 Comments

Looking for a fun, last minute Halloween idea? Need something simple that takes less than a minute to make? How about a cute little spooky spider to add to your Halloween décor…

For a few years I’ve seen those metal spider leg cupcake holders that you use to add a little creepy crawly to your Halloween cupcakes and thought… It would be so fun to make something with those cute legs rather than just a cupcake. Then it hit me… why not take a black Christmas ornament, turn it upside down onto the legs and add some googlie eyes. How cute will that be. Here’s what you will need…

Black Christmas ornaments (I used the glitter kind, but it doesn’t matter)
Spider cupcake holders
Large self-adhesive google eyes

All you have to do in invert the Christmas ornament onto the cupcake holder like this…

No need to glue them together if you don’t want. I decided that I wanted to keep my options open, so I didn’t glue them together. I have commitment issues. Then you can place the eyes wherever you see fit and voila, your done! Now all you have to do is find some fun spots to place these cute little creepy crawlies.

I used mine in this year’s Halloween mantle and just fell in love with these little buggers. Take that… a Halloween craft in less than a minute! What’s your favorite quickie holiday craft?
