Easy Halloween Spider Light Up Jar

 Gosh, I love creating bits and bobs for the Halloween decor.

And here is yet another effortless creation that looks creepy fabulous!

It only takes minutes to put together.

Don't you just love these easy quick crafts?

You can use any size lidded jar you want.

And as many spiders as you want.

And at night, it shines a spooky spider glow for Halloween.

Place it on your porch or make one for the edge of each step if you have steps.

I have put mine in my sitting room, against the black painted brick fire surround.

It looks fabulous.

Here is how to create your own Halloween Spider Light Up Jar.

Halloween Spider Light Up Jar

All you need is:

A jar with a lid.

Flocked spiders

A string of battery-operated pin lights

Batteries

Bluetak

(Note: you need enough lights to completely fill the jar size you choose to use).

To Make:

Place the lights inside the jar positioning the battery pack at the back behind the lights so it can't be seen.

Make sure you put it with the switch facing up so you can easily access it to turn it on.

Put your spider or spiders in the jar between the lights and the glass of the jar.

I only used one as my flocked spiders were rather large!

On the lid, bluetak a spider or spiders to it.

Screw the lid on the jar.

Switch on the lights at night to illuminate the jar.

And that is it!

Very easy.

Very effective.

And another simple creepy Halloween piece.

Easy Halloween Mummy Cushion

The 'Mummy Cushion' is a cute 'n' spooky addition to the Halloween decor.

Place it on the porch chair, or inside the house on the sofa.

It only takes 15 minutes to whip up as only minimal hand sewing is required to create it.

You Will Need:

A 45 by 45cm (17.5 x 17.5 inch) cushion insert

60cm (24 inches) of cheesecloth tubing

1.5 metres (about 5 feet) of wide medical bandage

Black felt

Scissors

Sewing needle and cream-coloured thread

To Make:

Place the cushion insert inside the cheesecloth tubing, and tuck the ends in.

Wrap the bandage around the cushion insert at the tucked ends, winding on a slight angle.

Hand stitch the end to hold it in place.

Cut two large felt eyes in an oval shape.

Scrunch the bandage and then lift the bandage carefully, position the eyes, and hand stitch using the cream thread around the edges of the ovals.

Place in your Halloween decor.

Spencer has become quite fond of 'Mr Mummy'!
