Party DIY {Itsy Bitsy Spider}
Halloween is a mere week away and it's time to put the finishing touches on all those Halloween parties. While the scary details like ghosts popping out of dark hallways and spooky black punch are a given, it's time to concentrate on the little details that will make guests say wow! For this DIY I wanted something spooky in spirit with a handmade touch that didn't break the bank. This did just that. The rubber spiders I found in an 8 pack at Wal-Mart for $1.47. The rest of the supplies I had on hand in my craft bucket. After cutting some kraft paper down to size (3x2), I was off drawing spiderwebs in the corner and hot gluing spiders to them. These are great because they can be used in so many ways for your party. Try them as labels for food, place cards, or drink tags. Here's the step by step on making them for your party!
:: Supplies ::
Rubber Spiders
Hot Glue
3"x 2" Kraft Paper Pieces
Black Sharpie
:: Directions ::
1. Begin by drawing a line out of the center of the top left corner. Draw another line from the corner splitting the difference between the middle line and the edge of the paper. Repeat on the other side of the middle line. Draw a few more for a full looking web.
2. Starting near the corner, connect the lines with a slightly upward curved line that peaks at each line. Continue down the web forming rows.
3. Place a dab of hot clue on the back of the spider and adhere to paper.
4. Write each person's name or food item in the bottom right corner.
Have a great Tuesday!

Party Essentials {Halloween}
Halloween is a week from Monday which can only mean one thing...Halloween Party! And while I'm giving you all the Halloween inspiration you need on Monday, today I wanted to give you my Halloween party essentials. No matter if your party is meant to be scary or just fun, here's what you need!
{1} Green Light Bulbs: Whether you put them outside or in, they give off an erie glow perfect for the occasion.
{2} Eyeball Martinis: Thank you Martha Stewart for supplying me with an ever so creepy but utterly delicious Halloween favorite!
{3} Candy Corn: Clearly everyone's favorite treat of the season. It's a total must!
{4} Giant Fuzzy Spider: Spooky and unrealistically large. Perfect to scare, but not to bad.
{5} Pumpkins: Duh. What's Halloween without pumpkins? Carve them for outside or use them as centerpieces or maybe even as an ice bucket!
{6} Dry Ice: Need I say more? It gives off a spooky smoke so tease your guests by icing their eyeball martinis with it.
{7} Spiderwebs: To go with that giant spider of course!
{8} Skeletons: Personally I prefer black, glittered skeletons that hang on my front door. But, if you can manage to make them look like they are climbing up your building, then props to you because that looks pretty cool!
{9} Black Candles: Because white ones just aren't creepy.
What are you Halloween party essentials?
