Spiders, Spiders everywhere!

Harrowing Handicrafts

Hair-raising party decorations don't need to be costly or fussy. You can make these frightening flourishes with some inexpensive craft supplies in just a few minutes. We covered a table with gauze and then affixed black tissue-paper tatters to the table and sweets-laden cake stands. Spooky card stock spiderwebs hang from up above -- spun, perhaps, by the store-bought arachnid dangling nearby.

Harrowing How-To For Tatters

Cut a length of black tissue paper 9 inches wide (3 inches for smaller tatters). Make 2-inch (1 1/2-inch for small) accordion folds down the length of the paper; trim excess. Using a straightedge and a rotary cutter fitted with a decorative blade, cut folded paper into a V shape, leaving a 1-inch (1/2-inch for small) border at one end. Repeat with additional sheets of paper as necessary, and affix to desired surfaces with double-sided tape.

For Cobwebs
Photocopy the template onto card stock, enlarging it by 400 percent for the smaller web. (Enlarge copy an additional 150 percent for the larger web.) Cut out. Fold a 12- inch square sheet of black card stock (an 18-inch square for the large web) in half diagonally, and then fold in half twice more to form a small triangle. Trace stencil onto card stock with a white pencil; cut out pattern using a craft knife. Hang with fishing line.

Apple Votives

(These are really cute, I know Martha Stewart again)

From: Martha Stewart Living 



A flotilla of apples bobbing in a steel tub evokes memories of childhood and headlong plunges into icy water. But carved into holiday candleholders, these apple votives are a prize for the eyes alone, their flames a promise of warmth. Every apple will float differently, so see how they balance in water before marking their topsides with a dot. Place the tea light over the dot, and trace around its circumference with a utility knife, inserting the knife vertically as deep as the tea light is tall. Set aside the light, cut the circle into sections, and scoop them out with a spoon. Squeeze lemon juice onto the cut surface to keep the apple from turning brown, and insert a tea light.

The Life and Death of a Pumpkin

I found this one by mistake a while ago. It is the best way to see what a pumpkin might be thinking when you carve into his head.

Spooky Porches: Arachnophobia

Fine sure make fun of me. But during this time of year Martha Rocks the Halloween Ideas.

This was done in 2003, but its kinda creepy. Especially if you live with a person that is terrified of spiders (( evil laugh))


Spooky Porches: Arachnophobia

On Halloween, the slightest wisp of the imagination can transform otherwise ordinary critters -- whether raucous backyard crows or peaceful garage spiders -- into terrible, hair-raising monsters. Therein lies the thrill of trick-or-treating.
Sure, candy is important. But what lasts in memory is not the sweets so much as the setting in which they were offered. Outfit your porch or entryway with beastly birds and oversize arachnids, then watch the costumed creatures descend in droves.
The front-door welcome sign is "spun" with chalk on a crafts-store blackboard in a ready-made frame. At the entrance to the creepy sanctuary, the mother spider waits on a web fashioned from fiberglass window screening decorated with a white paint marker.

Giant Spider 
Make a flat paper spider three-dimensional with foam-insulation balls.

Tools and Materials
Large plastic or paper spider (sold at party stores)
Black acrylic paint (tube, with brush, or spray can)
2 foam-insulation balls, one slightly larger than spider head, the other slightly larger than spider body
Serrated knife
Hot-glue gun
Black fake fur (optional)
2 red beads, for eyes
3 straight pins
White cotton string
Pushpin or self-stick hanger
Giant Spider How-To
Paint the paper spider head, body, and legs with black acrylic paint. Cut foam balls in half using a serrated knife. Paint one large half and one small half black (save other halves for another use). When dry, hot-glue strips of black fur to the larger ball for an extra-creepy effect; trim off overhang. Hot-glue the halved balls to the spider's head and body. For each eye, slide a red bead onto a straight pin, and stick it into the top of foam head. Hang the spider in front of its web: Pin a length of string to the foam body, and attach the other end to the ceiling with a pushpin or self-stick hanger.
The Web
A huge web can enclose a porch -- just cut an opening for guests to enter.
Tools and Materials
Scissors
Fiberglass window screening in a 100-foot roll, depending on porch size
Kraft paper or newspaper
Chalk
Yardstick or straightedge
White-paint markers
Pushpins or thumbtacks
Web How-To
Cut screening to desired size. Lay screening on paper. Mark center point for web with chalk, and draw radiating lines using a yardstick as a guide. Connect the lines in a web pattern; add smaller webs in the panel corners. Paint over chalk lines using white-paint markers and yardstick. After paint is dry, cut along paint lines to create an entrance; cut edges randomly for a jagged look. Attach to porch with pushpins.

This is pretty cool. I found this from Ghostdroppings.com. This guy pretty much bought a house and turned it into Mike Myers house.
