No mantle yet but hopefully this week. I can't wait. It's probably for
the best that it hasn't been installed yet because I am itching to
decorate it for the holidays. August is a little early for Halloween,
right? I'm thinking it's close enough. :)
I purchased this little spider kit on
Etsy from the same seller I purchased my
Christmas Joy from.
In the photo of her spider, the front of the block is smooth. When I
received mine the grain of the wood was on the front and the holes for
the legs are already drilled in on the smooth sides. I was pretty bummed
out. I wanted to do a polka dotted spider. I decided to cover her in
purple glitter to try and mask it.
I'm happy with how she turned out. The eyelashes are two sets of fake
eyelashes I just purchased at the store. Each eye took a set. According
to
Craft Wars, the
only way to get loose glitter to stay is to use Elmers glue. So that's
what I did and it worked wonders. I love me some Craft Wars.
