I've had a bit of a 'not feeling too well' week, with some Drs appointments and more blood tests and things, so I have kept this week's makes simple but hopefully you will find them cute and funky too.
I used my Cricut to cut out these fun layered Spider characters. Using papermill card in Grey, Dark Violet, Purple Grape and of course Black. I thought the black body part would look better with some texture, so I ran it through the Big Shot using a dots patterned embossing folder and then rubbed some blue coloured gilding wax over it to add a sheen that catches the light. I added stickles glitter glue to the top hats, using a different colour for each Spider, then all the black parts were added to the main body using 3D foam pads to give height.
The eyes were originally just small holes, but the minute you start to put a googly eye on something that is when it comes to life with it's own personality. So I chose a different colour for each spider and the large eyes with lashes seemed to work best. Rather than make these into cards I made them into fridge magnets, so a little round magnet is attached to the back of each and I placed them on my fridge freezer door.
