DIY Webbies Revisited

When I get sick, I get sick. I've had a terrible cold for a whole week now. I just can't shake it. I was starting to feel better, and then yesterday I came down with a hacking cough. You know the kind that puts you on the verge of hugging the toilet? THAT kind. I'm literally coughing up both lungs and probably have bronchitis. I mean, I'm no doctor, but I have put on many a band-aids. So, same/same.

So, before I drown myself in Nyquil, I decided to re-share my DIY spiderwebs from last year's Halloween. These guys are super easy and very fun for the kiddos. I promise after this move and my life calms down, I'll be back in full force with new crafts. Pinkie prom.

DIY Webbies

The start of October always brings me into the holiday season. The air is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, and the decorations are being brought out by William, who's usually grumping the whole time he's having to dig in the storage closets. He does it because he loves me. Or hates me, and he's trying to find room to hide my dead body somewhere. ::side eye::

It's time for some Halloweenie decs!! "Pumken patches" (as my child so lovingly calls pumpkins), rats, ghosts, "bitsy pider pouts" (spiders, my child can't help her cuteness), and witches. It's all happening. 

First DIY of the fall season are glitter spiderwebs. They are super easy to whip up, and very kiddo friendly. These little guys are great under candles on tables. All I'm missing is a tiny creature to call this web a home. So, grab some more coffee, muster up some creativity, maybe find a fun sized human, and let's get crafty with it.

DIY Webs

Elmer's Glue (refrigerate if it's super runny)

Glitter

Wax Paper

- Lay out wax paper on table. If wanting bigger webs, tape two sheets of wax paper together.

- Start drawing your web with glue by making an asterisk first. Then make circles around the asterisk, starting at the middle, connecting each asterisk spoke. 

- Shake glitter over the web. Let dry for a day or so. 

- Gently pull off the web from the wax paper. Shake off excess glitter, and you are done.
