Halloween Spider Candles - Dollar Store Craft

I love candles......  They are so much fun and an easy way to change the look of a room.  I especially love The Dollar Tree's because candles can be very expensive.  Here is an easy way to transform glass cylinders (from the Dollar Store) into really fun Halloween decorations.





The supplies I used was:  Three glass cylinders (different sizes), black ribbon, double sided tape, white string, silhouette cutouts, and micro beads.



I started out with The Dollar Tree's solid black ribbon.  covered the entire ribbon with double sided tape (it took three pieces of tape).



After you have the double sided tape on, just wrap the string around until you get a spider web effect.




The micro beads are very small and a little goes a long way.





After placing your paper spider where you want it, fill in all the sticky areas with the micro beads.  I was afraid that the double sided tape would catch flies or other flying bugs, just like a real one -- ha ha, if left alone.  I do love the glitter effect it gives off.




This was a very inexpensive craft that looks expensive.  Gotta love The Dollar Tree.  Everything with the exception of the micro beads and double sided tape can be purchased from The Dollar Tree.   What Dollar Store crafts have you been up to lately?
