Glow in the dark and Reflective Halloween Jewelry


GTU Friday October 17, 2014

Lisa Berrett




Supplies

Duct Tape

Glow in the dark Duct Tape

Jewelry findings

Plastic spiders

Ruler

Velcro

Beads

Beading wire

 

 

Instructions
I cut a piece of duct tape about 8 inches long; this gives you enough to play with.
I fold the duct tape in half and cut a small piece of Velcro to add to the ends of the bracelet.
With the Reflective tape I put a small strip down the middle of the bracelet so you can still see the sides of the cute duct tape.
Add any fun jewelry findings you have to your bracelet.
You can make necklace and Trick or Treat bags with the glow in the dark tape or reflective tape.
Just a little goes a long way and to keep you and your kids safe on Halloween .

      Beaded Spiders for Halloween


      GTU and lovin2bead......Halloween Spiders
      PROJECT: Beaded Spiders
      CRAFTER: Lisa Berrett


      Supplies:
      • Beads a varity of sizes
      • 3 inch Head pins
      • Bead huggers
      • Pipe cleaners
      • Foam balls
      • Wire
      • Glue gun
      • Round nose pliers

      Directions:
      • First I gathered all my supplies together. You will need 8 3 inch head pins that you bead any way you want your legs of your spider to look. Set aside, and make sure you turn up the edge of the head pin.
      • For the body I use 12mm bead and for the head a 10 mm bead. I use bead huggers on each end of the bead, add the body, then string on the 8 head pins lined with your beaded legs
      • After I get the spider done I use a little hot glue right on the center. This will make the legs stay where you want them.

      Styrofoam Spider:
      • Body is made from 2 inch Styrofoam ball. Head is 11/2 inch Styrofoam ball.
      • If you want to use wire instead of head pins just hot glue them in the body and add a bead on the end, this is cute too.
      • I added the Bead huggers on the front of the head and the back of the spider.
      • The legs are make from pipe cleaners. Cut in 3 inches, add on your beads, and twist the bottom so the beads don't fall off.
      • With a little hot glue, stick the legs right into the body so they stay put.
      • Add wiggly eyes and your spider is ready for Halloween

      Tips:
      • You can use glitter on the Styrofoam if you'd like a little bling.
      • Use wire instead of headpins and it looks cute too.

      3. I used glue dots to hold my paper in place you want to be able to use these stands for all kinds of things so Black is a great color that works with all the holidays
      4. Then I washed my grapes this is our favorite at the Berrett home melded my chocolate and drenched my grapes in the chocolate and put them in my fun cups to set up (make sure your grapes are clean and dry)
      5. Any snack is dippable and our chocolates are great for that I found its works best by putting the chocolates in the microwave for 1 minutes this makes a perfect smoothness to drizzle over your treats
      6. Once your chocolate is set up its time to use our fun frostings and Gels to decorate your treats
