Needle Felted Spiders for Halloween

// Needle Felted Spiders for Halloween //

Hi there! Shannon from eat.sleep.make. here. One of my absolute favorite crafting mediums for fall and winter projects is needle felting. I made these cute little spiders for Halloween this year (and fortunately, only suffered a few puncture wounds in the process.)

What you will need:
Wool Rooving
Needle Felting Tool
E600 Glue
Colored Paper Clips

Pull a piece of your wool roving apart from the rest and wrap it in a tight little ball. Start stabbing away! Be careful not to poke yourself because these needles are sharp! Keep stabbing until the ball feels more dense and the lines from wrapping it have disappeared. Add some color by putting spots on it!

Next use your colored paperclips for legs! Cut them or just bend them into the size and shape you want. Use some glue to make sure they stay attached.

I'm not much of a Halloween fan, but I definitely appreciate adorable decorations. When else can you display a cute needle felted spider and it be acceptable?

Thanks for hanging out with me today here at Whipperberry! I'll see you all next month!

xoxo – Shannon

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?

It’s time to get out your GiftGloss from the FoofQueens for some Halloween fun!! I know everyone is looking for some fun goodie ideas for their upcoming Halloween parties and I have a cute idea for you today…

How about some tasty Jack-o-Lantern Juice in a cute little GiftGloss sleeve? All you have to do is find some orange soda bottles and remove the label. I used my Silhouette CAMEO (I have a great deal on those to if you need one too!) to cut out some vinyl jack-o-lantern faces and then placed them on the bottles… super EASY! Fill it with some sweet candy corn or your favorite little candies along with a matching black & white straw from Susty Party and you’ll have the cutest little party treat on the block!!

What makes GiftGloss different that just your normal bag? GiftGloss is the original slide’n’tie sleeve… you get to decide how long your sleeve is!!! All you have to do is select what size sleeve you would like to use.

GiftGloss comes in two widths, 6 inches and 12 inches and with the handy dispenser it’s super easy to measure out your desired length, slide the cutting tool across the dispenser and voila, you have the perfect treat sleeve! GiftGloss is food grade, so it’s perfect for all your spooky treats for family and friends this Halloween season.

I have made several projects over the last year and packaged them with GiftGloss and everyone is always WOW’d with the presentation!
