Spider & Skull Jars

You will need:
glass jars *I used some vintage canning jars
sand
mini skulls
black spider rings
scissors

I had found these jars over the summer with my favorite treasure hunting friend, Carrie. To make them summery I had picked up some glittery sand (Shocking that I had to get glittery sand, I know!) and artfully poured some in each jar. This was my summer sofa table centerpiece. I had put them away for the season, but after completing my skull chandelier I wanted to use my extras somewhere. Any reason to put out something with glitter! So I pulled out the summer jars and turned them into glamorous spooky jars.

I simply plopped the skulls in the jars, arranging them with a spoon when they fell funny.
Snipped the ring off of some spider rings (Ash has a love/hate relationship with spiders right now. He loves them but hates how they kind of freak him out. Therefore we had to purchase a big bag of spider rings, which have found themselves scatter all over our house, and check on all the spiders that reside around our porch. Mostly we are making sure that they are not coming into the house....but that's a future therapy issue for another day.) and carefully used some scissors to place the spiders on the skulls just the way I wanted them. *Scissors work fabulous as long tweezers if you are careful not to pinch too hard. We lost of few limbs due to a helper who wanted to do the spider part. Poor Gray was concentrating so hard on getting them in the exact spot I told him that he forgot not to squeeze the grips.

Pop on the lids add a few more spiders to the outside *I just snipped little slits in the ring part to attach to wire on lid. Tada! Another simple Halloween project.
