[Recycled] Fall Jar Decor!


All you need is...
  • Jars of any kind (I have here a Prego jar, relish jar, and couple others I liked the shape or size of--- and just washed them out well)
  • Fabric scraps/strips and hot glue [to fasten the ends to the jar and each other] ;)
  • corn husks (purchased mine at a yard sale years back for way cheap, but sure you could get at any craft store and use a coupon or wait until on sale!)





Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful!

friendly PET Spiders! (easy kids craft!)


friendly pet spider
Made these for my nursery class originally and then some for hanging around the house! (and one for my some to carry around, just loves it!)




What you need to make a spider pet:
*optional---what you use for the legs (could use pipe cleaners)
*optional---what you use for eyes (could use cheerios ---or even paint them green red or yellow!---
*optional---fun edged scissors to give texture to the body ;)
Googly eyes 
hot glue or tape (attaching legs)
paper of any kind
white string for 'leash' (web)
circle stencil (i used cookie cutter!) to make body
hole punch (put in as far as the punch will allow---shouldnt be very center...great for letting it hang downwards anyways ;)


Tape will do, if that is all you have, but I would suggest using Elmer's or hot glue (depending on kid or parent making it) for more lasting durability (to store and re-use each year)

Pics of Different color spider's coming soon!...

Witch's Cauldron TEA LIGHT HOLDER [recycled]



To make your very own Cauldron Tea Light holder, you will need:
  1. Tea light!
  2. Small cauldron---I got mine from a Michaels, a good few years back (and when it was 50% off! yes!) for about 3-5$ at the most...on sale ;)  but I found the very same one online at a few different sites, but all about $10: http://www.candycrate.com/halloween-hot-chocolate-cauldron-tin.html?gclid=COLVzNKauroCFclDMgodNFEAyQ click on this site...or google 'hot chocolate caudron' and you can see all the others for the same price (or more!)  
**If $10 seems to be more than you'd like to spend...I would suggest waiting until after Halloween to see if they go on sale, but if money isnt an issue for you and you want to use the hot chocolate as a Halloween 'event' for your family or friends this Halloween then GO FOR IT! It is a treat and a craft!!

    3. Glitter and Elmers glue for the potion/brew center! (any neon or Halloween color would do: green, red, orange...) I used purple :P
    4.  Spray paint (or acrylic paint and a coat of Modge Podge---what I used because that is what I had around)
    5. Any embellishments, although I used some adhesive gem clusters (come with a sticky back and in cluster just the way you see in the photo)

HAVE WICKED FUN!

Spider Garland [RECYCLED]--SUPER Easy!



 String around a mirror or hang from a book shelf :)
**would look even better against a different wall color!!


What you need to make your own:


  1. Clear (or any color really) string of some kind...I use clear stretchy string for beads.
  2. bag(s) of spider rings (any colors)
  3. dryer sheets---for the web ;) (i used ones that had already been put in the dryer (recycled!) BUT i think that sheets not through the dryer would work just fine :)
  4. scissors
  5. tacks or strong tape to attach to desired spot (indoor or outdoor, etc)
How to make:
  • simply cut strips (of desired length) of your new or used dryer sheets
  • place your spiders in order you want on your table (if wanting to have a pattern or good variation of color (if using colored that is ;)
  • cut the length of your sting to fit your door way or mantel, etc (whatever you will be haning it on!) plus an inch or so on each side to allow for a place to loop and hook onto a tack or place a piece of tape :)
  • then TIE on your spiders with your dryer sheet strips and... 
You've got it!

NOT ONLY will this decoration look Great, 
BUT it will smell Great too! ;)
