Missy Fischy's World: September 2012

I will admit that I am addicted to Pinterest, and I am constantly on there looking for new crafts and such. Since Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and Halloween is my favorite holiday, I have been browsing fall crafts. I came upon a craft for magnetic spiders. You can find that here. I know Halloween isn't until next month, but I couldn't wait to make these spiders! We recently had our back door replaced with a fire safe aluminum door. It's hard to hang my wreaths on, but it is magnetic!
So, off I set to find my plastic spider rings. It was difficult at first, since there were no Halloween decorations out yet, but this past week, the local stores have been setting up their Halloween Decor! As I was in Target yesterday morning, I thought I'd give the Halloween section a little look. I found some plastic spiders that were not rings (which made it easier for me for not having to cut the ring part off)! They were $3 for a 72 or 74 count. Then, I headed to Joann Fabrics to purchase some magnets. I found a roll of magnetic tape for $5. It was well more than I needed, but I can use it for other crafts! Here is what I did:

Supplies needed:

Plastic spiders (rings work, but you have to cut off the ring part)
Magnetic strips
Scissors
Glue gun and glue sticks

Steps I took:

First I gathered all my supplies

Then, I started to cut strips off the magnetic tape to fit the back of the spiders. I was able to cut each square in half into strips that fit perfectly!

I got my hot glue gun ready and started to glue the strips to the back of the spiders.

(I apologize for the blurry photo...my photographer had a shaky hand)

I let the glue harden.

Then, I had some fun on the refrigerator at work! I left the spiders up for my residents to see when they went into the fridge! They got a kick out of it!
