Tutorial Tuesday: Spider Egg Sac Chandelier

Boo, Ya'll.

Well, a week squeaked by and I was so busy having fun with the Houseplants (I entered the contest over at Instructables.) and getting ready for our big Halloween party I just didn't post at all !
If you asked me a question about the plants or the crowns I put most answers in the comments on those posts, because Blogger keeps your secret identities pretty secret!

I have a huge Bloggy Love and gratitude post to do tomorrow that will be completely off the Halloween Theme, but for Tutorial Tuesday (The Wednesday Edition) I need to keep it SCARY.

This is the decor for the bathroom for our little soiree.



I don't think you need be an arachnophobe to appreciate the creepy feeling you get sitting under this little fixture. I used red Christmas lights to give the feeling of radioactive glowing spider eggs still hatching inside, but this looks good without a light or would be cool glowing with a single dim bulb as well.

Supplies: Cheap white Japanese paper lantern available at Cost Plus, or Ikea or places like that, webby stuff, Christmas lights ( mine are all red) Lot and Lots of Plastic Spiders and a cup hook and tacks.

You simply:

• stick a large circle of tacks in the ceiling
• suspend a Japanese paper lantern from a cup hook or something similar
• fill the lantern with all red Christmas lights
• wrap it in the fake webby stuff that is every where this time of year.
• Stretch the webs up to the tacks and embellish liberally with plastic spiders
• Sit beneath and SQUIRM.
