Spider candle sticks.

I know that this is a cooking blog, but what goes better with your meals than some love filled home crafts. Hmmm, maybe I'll set up a whole other blog just for crafts.

Materials Needed:
  • 1-5/8-inch-high wooden candle cup with brass candle ring insert
  • Foam plate or palette
  • Black acrylic paint
  • Small flat paintbrush
  • Eight 4-inch-long black chenille stems
  • Two 7mm glue-on movable eyes
  • One 2mm red pom-pom
  • Glue gun and glue stick
Directions:
Refer to photo as a guide.
  1. Paint entire candle cup black. Add additional coats of paint as needed for complete coverage. Let paint dry after each application.
  2. Glue two eyes to one side of candle cup. Let dry.
  3. Glue red pom-pom below eyes for nose. Let dry.
  4. Fold each length of chenille stem into a “U” shape with an extension on one side for legs as shown.
