1. Ink the lid of a small, plastic jar with Slate Alcohol Ink. (An inexpensive jar from the kitchenware section of the store was used here.)
2. Cut out a circle of paper (Cloud 9 Design paper was used here) to fit the top. Ink the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink and adhere to the lid with Glue Dots®. You will want to use one of the flat varieties of Glue Dots— Mini Glue Dots® were used here.
3. Apply a Pop Up Glue Dots® where you would like your spider to be. This serves as his body and gives him dimension.
4. Cover your spider in Sparkly Fluff from My Craft Lounge (Coffee Bean Brown was used here). Push in slightly to adhere well, being careful not to squish the spider. Tap off excess.
5. Use a Mini Glue Dots to adhere a Dew Drop as the giant eye.
6. Create a dimensional circle in the center and legs with the black Glaze Pen to complete the look.
7. For the jar portion, cut a strip of paper to the desired width and ink the edges (it covers up the white edges you get from cutting patterned paper.)
8. Apply several Glue Dots to one edge of the paper, make sure it is centered and straight and then press down. The Glue Dots will provide an immediate hold. Then, wrap the paper around the jar until it starts to overlap. Trim. Apply another row of Glue Dots and adhere.
9. The cobwebs are just a piece of May Arts ribbon, inked with Black Soot Distress Ink to match (they were a buttery cream color) and wrapped and adhered with Mini Glue Dots. Only a few are needed this time.
10. The fence is made from American Crafts white cardstock and the Picket Fence Border die by Dies Direct. The fence was inked with Pumice Stone Distress Ink to add dimension and make it not quite so white. Several Glue Dots® were then used to adhere the first portion, then wrap it just like the background paper and ribbon. Glue Dots were added here and there on some of the posts. This makes the paper bend in and out and provides some added dimension. At the end, several Glue Dots were added to finish it off.
11. The tag is made from the new Tim Holtz stamp set by Stampers Anonymous and the ticket strip die by Tim Holtz from Sizzix. Use the same white cardstock and then ink it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and adhere it with two more Glue Dots. Be sure to ink the backside, as well, if you want it to stick out as seen here.
12. Finally, add a few more spiders — they are fun to make so stopping might be a problem.
13. Fill with your favorite treat and give to a teacher, co-worker or special child for Halloween! Enjoy your DIY Halloween treat decoration!
