Happy Hallow Eve!
A short, quick and easy post for Helmar today!
I love making little spider web doilies for my Halloween decor!
Take a piece of wax paper and "draw" your spider web design on top of the wax paper with your Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue.
After "drawing" your spider web pattern, dump a whole lot of glitter on top making sure all the glue is covered. Set it aside to dry. I usually leave mine alone for a couple of days just to make sure that even the thickest part of the "strands" are completely dry.
Next, peel off your web and take it outside to spray with Helmar Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish to seal all that wonderful glittery goodness so that you don't leave glitter everywhere...unless you like that...lol
Next, every web needs a glittery spider to go along with it, after all who's going to guard the treats? I "painted" the plastic spider first with Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue with a paintbrush ( you can use your finger too ) !
Next, the glitter application! ( that is one glittery mess!! )
And then comes the sealing process!
Last but not least, a few pearls for eyes....all the better to see with you with!

How fun! I love the glittery look as I am freaked by bugs, but in happy glitter they are fun even for me. Love your captions for the pics.
Oh My. This is really clever and what a wonderful use of your glue. Your spider looks way too real! This is so cute. TFS & Hugs
What a fabulous idea!! I've never seen spray varnish here in the UK though!! I'll check ebay!
Very creative idea!!!
I don't know whether to be horrified or fascinated... I think I'll avoid him and get some other candy from the store! :I

I love all of the glitter! I think I'd have to brave those spiders to get some Reese's - my favorite candy!
