ST_12_months_of_Martha_Logo-1 GLITTERED SPIDERS

Howdy Hoo Jaderbugs! It’s Monday and I have a ton of glittery happiness for you. Well not technically a “ton” but you understand. It’s all about “Halloween Decoration Ideas” today on the blog. I don’t know if I ever told you just how much I love Halloween and fake spiders. Preferably black ones made of paper.

LOVE.

The one thing that is changing as I am getting older is my Halloween color theme! I do still love the original orange and black but…COLOR makes me happy and jittery inside.  I guess I am sorta like ROY G. BIV’S wife.

I mean if she existed (wink wink).

I am so in love with GLITTER. I am not speaking of a “normal” relationship with glitter. You will never find me without glitter. It’s either in my purse or in my hair. <—haha!

Halloween Decoration Ideas Martha Stewart Glitter

The first thing you will do is coat the bottom of your spider with Mod Podge. Quickly sprinkle the spider with glitter before the Mod Podge dries.

I used the tinsel glitter because in the end it almost looks hairy. I think the tinsel glitter is a great choice to add texture to our spiders. I usually use this glitter around the Christmas holiday’s but I figured I would bust it out a little early.

 Orange Glitter

When you buy your paper spiders they come with little round double sided stickers. You will place them on the underneath and stick them on a wall. I absolutely love how they look full of color. PURE HAPPINESS.

Whoa Nelly! It’s almost Halloween already. Where does the time go? I know this sounds CRAY CRAY but I am already working on Christmas crafts!

SHAKING MY HEAD. I will tell you I have some wonderful things coming up and I can’t wait to share them with you!

HALLOWEEN CRAFTS

 I have some great Halloween Crafts to show you ! My friends rocked out glitter and glam this week.  

My, oh my Margot Potter is rocking my socks today with this silk screen witch tote bag. I wonder if I am a good witch or bad witch…

Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza show us an easy way to decorate any mantle. Don’t worry if you don’t have a mantle, you can still use all these crafts somewhere else in your home!

Mark Montano takes our tables to a whole new level with his great fall table setting. Wait till you see what he did with LEAVES!

Heather Mann takes plastic pumpkins to pewter heaven this week. I love the head in this arrangement!

Kathy Cano-Murillo brings glitter and “sugar” together in this fun tutorial. I can’t wait to jazz up some shirts!

Happy Crafting!ending

Today I will show you how to Decorate Paper Bags.

Well from what I gather it is almost Halloween around this joint. This means I get to display my favorite color everywhere in the house! Black that is.

I have to admit being the “DIY’ER” that I am sometimes crafts come to me and I just quickly make them. If they are good then they get posted. No lie, this was not planned but I just think it’s practical and can be used for many things in your life.

Sometimes I go through a period of doing fairly simple tutorials and then I do really complicated ones that require ton’s of pictures. Not sure why I do that but I do.

This one would surely fall under EASY!

Have you seen my Halloween Coffee Party yet?

What about my Vintage Crow Magazine Holder!

Decorate Paper Bags

 It is honestly a craft that you would add your own imagination too so have fun with it. I made a quick video for you also.

This post is brought to you by BlogHer and Campbell‘s.

First of all I would love for you to meet the wisest kid in the world. Campbells Soup Company “discovered” the Wisest kid in the WHOLE world. Not only is he 8, but he is eternally 8.

Now many of you may NOT know this and it may be a huge shocker but I do have a wonderful kid! He is 13 years old and let me tell you he sure is wise. Sometimes a little too wise but what can I say, he takes after me.

There is a really great period in a kid’s life where they think they are wiser than anyone else. It’s actually the cutest time in my eyes.

Meet the Wisest kid! There is a huge purpose behind this campaign and that is to stress that kids do have wise things to say.

Campbell’s is inviting you to share your kids’ wisest words. I promise if you listen more you will hear the best things come out of their little mouths!

When I think of my son’s wisest moment there is one particular event that always pops into my head. I would say this took place around 7 years old, a very wise 7 years old.

My lil one went spend the night with his “pop” and when they were going to bed my dad said, “Say a prayer for Pop tonight please.”

Lil one said ” I can’t Pop”.

My dad said WHY! He said “Well because I never learned a prayer with the word Pop in it.”

How cute and wise is that! My dad called me the next morning almost in tears because he thought is was so amazing.

CAMPBELL’S WISEST KID

What is your favorite Campbell’s soup growing up?

I have always loved tomato soup with a grilled cheese. Wanna make the sandwich fun? Check out how Campbell’s made cut out sandwiches.

With Halloween right around the corner I wanted to share with you a site that you will fall in love with. I Love to Create has created a site that is filled with great Halloween inspiration.

For me I love this because when I start searching for ideas based around a specific holiday I like when everything is at my fingertips.

Pretty much like this site.

There are 5 different categories on the Halloween inspiration page. Pumpkins, Party & Decor,Body Art, T-Shirts and Totes and Costumes.

I honestly want to create every single thing on this site because for one they are fun to look at and two, the instructions for each craft are great which means nearly anyone can make them.

bad-to-the-bone-skull-shirtI want to share my favorite projects. This is actually hard for me to decide on but I promise to do my best!

FYI: When you see a category on the site make sure to click “more projects” to the right of the category. This will pull up all of the tutorials. I would just hate to see you miss out on this part!

PUMPKINS: Hardcore Pumpkin

Even if you’re not in the mood for carving and cleaning, you can still make some hardcore Halloween pumpkins this season! Washers, chains and other hardware make for an easy, inexpensive way to give your pumpkins an edgy new look.

I love things that look industrial. The white pumpkins looks so classy to me. I would probably choose this over diamonds!

Party and Decor:Haunted Silouette Pillow

When it comes to displaying drab Halloween décor, vow to yourself, “nevermore”! Create this hauntingly haute pillow featuring Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” easily with a black fabric marker and a little bit of paint.

I love ravens and this pillow makes me super excited. I like the look of anything handwritten and then you slap a good old bird on it. VOILA!

Costumes:Wicked Kicks

Follow the road to creativity in a sparkly set of shoes! No need to make a wish for kicks this fabulous, all you need is a little creativity, some glue and a lot of sparkly gems.

I will end this with my favorite craft! I love red and I love glitter so how can you go wrong with this? There is only ONE problem. I would wear these all year long.

Happy “whoa I am back from the land of OZ” day! Where the heck have I been you ask? You know, I might just have to ask you because quite frankly I don’t know.
(insert evil laugh here)

Last week I had major issues with my site which meant I could not post anything on this bad boy. Next thing I knew I was actually enjoying my time away from the computer.

Did I have the shakes, yes. What can I say my heart belongs in this crazy online home I have created and it’s just like when you go on a vacation away from home. It’s always “nice” but boy it’s good to get back home in your own bed.

I wanted to share with you my latest post that I did for The Graphics Fairy. I am positive you will like it so make sure to go check out the FULL tutorial.

I would like to say it looks sorta modern retro but who I am kidding. I just like crows and vintage patterns. So I brought the two tother to make a big ole explosion of happiness. Don’t these crows look real?!

Some say crows are bad luck but I think they are my guides. They follow me everywhere I go and I LOVE that. At least I know if they are around me and someone tries to hurt me they will shoot down and eat their eyeballs out…. Well at least I would hope.
