Glittered Spiderweb Hurricanes

The Martha Stewart Show on Hallmark Channel
Hey there my little Jaderbugs! New York was AWESOME! When one of the producers of The Martha Stewart Show asked me what I thought of New York so far I told her that is was EVERYTHING I could of ever expected. I don’t know if you remember a while back me saying that this countdown was gonna be a way to “test” myself. To push myself a little harder at something and see if I could finish on time.  I knew I made this promise to {{myself}} but NOW I have made a “for real” promise to MARTHA! There will be NO excuse to NOT finish this project. The thing is, I know there will be days I won’t feel like crafting, taking pictures, editing pictures, writing and so on. I think that is what makes me want it so much more! I know in the end it will be worth every ounce of labor! Have you ever sat down and though about “what’s next” in your life? Just sitting there making up all these “what if’s” in your head? I caught myself doing that yesterday and then I realized that is not what I am supposed to do.  Ya know, life is NOW! Everyone has “plans” for the future but the reality is all you have is the moment your in, then it’s over. So next time you are trying to figure out what comes next, take a deep breath and live in the NOW!` I mean REALLY live in the now, and while your in the now thank the universe for all the good you have. I thank everything I believe in every second I can for all the good and positive in my life.  There is so much to be thankful for but it can be easily blinded by negative thoughts. Let’s all live with a positive outlook and even though things might not be how you “planned” them to be just remember that it’s how your book is supposed to be.

After all, it’s your book. Your the only one writing it and editing it.

Happy WRITINGS!
Today’s craft is SO MUCH FUN~I think what I love the most about it is that you can use any color glitter that you want. I have to tell ya, Martha Stewart’s glitter is the BEST! Of course spiderwebs look great in black but how cool would a spiderweb look in orange or purple! You can do a variety of colors and place them all together. This would make a GREAT center piece for a Halloween party. The only thing I didn’t do is use a frosted pillar. I also added a little “southern” feel by using a canning jar!
Don’t forget at the bottom I will link up everything I used for you to quickly get to if you are interested in buying them!
p.s. Tadahhhhhh!!!! This project came out so cute!
p.s. all you need is glitter glue, glass container, template, tape
p.s. Martha’s glitter is so awesome! I have to say it has FULL coverage on anything it goes on!
p.s. This is the paper trimmer we used when I was on the show! When I tell you this baby cuts, it CUTS!!
p.s. After you cut the two spiderwebs out tape them together and place it in the inside of whatever you are using. Get your glitter glue and start using the lines on the inside of container to draw your lines on the outside. Then simply pour glitter over WET glue. I did a little bit at a time to ensure my glue absorbed all the glitter it could.
p.s. Once you glitter the whole thing, let it dry. After you get all the glitter off of the glass just simply tie some ribbon around the top!
