Pottery Barn had these darling glittered spider vase fillers on their site a month ago {they are no longer available}.  I knew I had to knock them off for a fraction of the price.  Pottery Barn listed the materials as styrofoam, wire, and black glitter finish.  Any crafting goddess worth her glue gun could easily remake these.

Glitter Spider Craft

 My take:

• coarse styrofoam balls {mini & small}: 1 size of each for one spider*  {mine were from the Dollar Tree}
• E6000 glue
• 20 gauge black jewelry wire
• black acrylic paint
• paint brush
• black fine glitter

1. Join the mini/small stryfoam balls using a toothpick and E6000 glue.  Don’t use hot glue.  It won’t hold up if you want to keep this craft alive for future Halloweens.
2. Use a separate toothpick to hold up the body while you paint.
3. Immediately coat them in the fine black glitter {the paint will act as a glue}.
4. After drying, cut and insert wire gauge legs. {Mine were cut on the curve of the wire so the legs looked more realistic.}  Keep the entry point of the wire near each other.
5. Use on wreaths, vase fillers, on pumpkins…etc.
