Plaid Supplies

Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint – 20589 Harvest Orange, Apple Barrel – 20662 Black, Mod Podge, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic – Silver

Other Supplies

Box of tissues, Chenille sticks (pipe cleaners), Pom Poms, Wiggly eyes, Craft brushes Water bowl

Instructions

1.    Paint the tissue box with Harvest Orange and let dry. (It may take several coats to cover any markings on the box.)

2.    Once dry, tape off the bottom of the box just along the edge of the folds on the either side.

3.    Paint below the tape using the Black paint. Let dry and remove the tape.

4.    Use a liner brush and Black paint to decorate the box with spider webs and small spiders.

To paint the webs:

◦     Dip the end of your paintbrush in the Black paint. Make a dot on the box with the brush end.

◦     Use the liner brush to paint a line going through the dot you just made (one vertical one horizontal).

◦     Connect your lines at the ends creating four triangles.

◦     Continue by extending the lines and connecting the ends.

◦     Hang a spider from your web by making another dot with the brush end and painting small lines for spider legs.

5.    When the box is dry, seal the box with Mod Podge and let dry.

6.    For Pom-Pom Spiders:

◦     Take the chenille sticks and bend them into small “V” shapes. Cut several pieces in various sizes for scarier legs.

◦     Bend a small foot on the legs to make it easier to bond with hot glue.

◦     Glue the legs down first and then add pom-pom spider bodies to cover hot glue.

◦     Add wiggly eyes to complete spiders.

7. Trace over Spider webs with Silver Mod Podge Dimensional to make your webs pop.
