I have these fun spider plates I bring out every Halloween. This year I decided to make some Jingle Bell Spiders to put at each place setting.
I bought two packages of jingle bells and some glitter and got busy making spiders. Here is what you need to make your own:
·
Pa Package of small jingle bells
· Package of medium size jingle bells
· Black glitter
· Black spray paint
· Spray adhesive
· Wire
· JB Weld
I don’t have pictures of all of the steps. I accidently deleted some (oops!) but they are easy to make and follow along.
I slide the jingle bells onto a wire hanger and hung them up so I could spray paint them.
After they were completely dry and attached the smaller bell to the top of the larger on with JB Weld. Let dry for 24 hours to make sure they are secure.
Now, it’s time to attach the legs. I cut 4 pieces of wire 6 inches. I attached them to the bottom of the larger bell on the underside using JB Weld.
Once they were dry I bent each leg so they would stand up.
Now, it’s time for the fun (and slightly messy) part. I used a spray adhesive, sprayed each spider and sprinkled them with a fine black glitter. I also dipped each leg in the glitter so they were super sparkly.
These cute little spiders were easy to make and will be the perfect addition to our fun spider web table!

I would have never thought of making these with bells. This is so creative and sparkly and I love sparkly! I am a new follower from What I Made Wednesday. Vicky from http://www.messforless.net
Too cute…I need some!
These look great, I made some gold ones for Christmas ornaments years ago that go along with a Christmas Spider Legend. I love these black glittery ones, perfect for Halloween decor! ~April
