1) Printed the easy template on the (white) back of a piece of black designer paper that I'd cut to measure 8.5" x 11 "
2) Then, cut along the solid lines & scored on the dotted lines.
3) Stamped on it-The web stamp is from "Web Wishes" and is embossed in silver embossing powder.
4) Punched out the holes (which are marked right on the template).
5) Put it together with wire.
It is the perfect size for an empty Epicure fruit dip jar filled with mocha beans (for a grown up Halloween treat!) The fruit dip part is important since the garlicy dip jars retain the smell and who wants garlic-y chocolate?
Here's the top of the jar with a circle of cardstock and the embossed phrase from the S.U. "Booglie Eyes" stamp set:
The spider is also from the "Booglie..." set. He's embossed in black and coloured in with a blender pen. His legs (on the stamp) are really hard to cut out attractively, so After stamping 2 spiders, I've made legs this way:
Used black floral centers (or butterfly antennae) from the dollar store for legs...
1) Cut the floral centers in half.
2) Stuck 8 halves onto the back of the spider with double-sided tape.
3) Cut out an extra spider for his back (to cover the legs & tape).
4) Coloured it dark black to obscure the eyes.
5) Adhered the extra spider on the back over the stuck on legs.
He is on a wire that is just stuck inside the box (with double sided tape and cardstock to cover.) There's googlie eyeballs on the top of the jar too.
(this will likely need to print
on borderless printing to fit)
