Liquid Gold Spiders, DIY

About a month ago I made a few Glitter Spider pins *HERE*

  for Halloween and to my surprise everyone wanted one.

 I wanted to revisit the spider pin, but this time

 I wanted them to be liquid gold, thanks to PLAID

You can put these guys pretty much anywhere you want, 

from decorating a table to

a necklace or earrings.

 Tutorial

Things you need.

1. Plastic cupcake spiders * Michaels  6 for $1.99
2. Liquid gold leaf *PLAID
3. Q-tips
4. Pin Backing
5. Eye pins or wire * not shown
6. Paper Towels
7. Hot glue gun.
8. Pliers for earrings.

Shake up your liquid gold,

Place your spider on a folded paper towel.

 Use your Q-tip and coat your spider top and bottom with paint. 

*Note I used a Q-tip for easy clean up.

 Let dry 2 hours.

 Fill the belly of your spider with hot glue and carefully place your pin backing in the glue

* be careful not to let the pin sink to far in the glue.

 To make the earrings or a necklace.

 I did this

I took my eye pin and using pliers

 I cut it the length I wanted,

bent it,

filled the belly of the spider with glue

  then  placed the folded wire in the glue,

let dry.

Add your earring finding.

Happy Halloween.

Lots of <3,
