Holiday Projects Fancy Spider By Melony Bradley With Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint and a craft foam ball, spider crafts don’t have to be scary. It’s easy to spray the craft foam ball and egg with this new paint. Whimsical embellishments take the scary out of this spider – fancy spider crafts are fun for all.

MATERIALS: • Craft foam: 2” ball, 3” egg • 1 can Krylon® Short Cuts® Paint, Black • 1 can Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint,

Starry Night • 8 black chenille stems • 11–10mm round acrylic flat backed stones • 2–6mm pearl beads • Glittered cardboard stickers: silver swirl by

Recollections®

• 1” round craft mirror • Silk flower • 12”-length of 7/8" pink satin ribbon • Aleenes® Original Tacky Glue • Scissors • Toothpick • Skewer • Scrap of craft foam • Straight pins INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Insert toothpick into one end of egg. Remove

and place glue on end of toothpick. Insert the glue side of the toothpick back into the hole created in the egg. Using the opposite side of the toothpick, repeat the same steps for the ball, to join shapes together to form spider head and body. Place skewer in bottom end of egg.

2. Spray shapes with black Krylon® Short Cuts® Paint spray paint, using several light coats for complete coverage. When paint is dry, spray shapes with several light coats of Glitter Blast Starry Night until desired glittery look is achieved. Place end of skewer into scrap of foam to dry.

3. Cut chenille stems to 8” pieces. Insert stem into side of body for leg. Remove stem and place glue on end of stem, reinsert. Repeat steps for remaining legs.

4. Place glue on one end of straight pin. Thread through bead and insert into head for eye. Repeat steps for second eye. Place sticker on head for crown. Glue one flat backed stone to end of each leg with tacky glue. Glue remaining stones for buttons on front of egg shape.

5. Tie ribbon around “neck” in a bow. Glue craft mirror and silk flower to bow as shown.




Prized Pumpkins By the Krylon® Design Team Pumpkins and gourds add elegance to your table when they glisten like this. Beautiful metallic paints add a grown-up touch to the holiday. Simply spray paint a pumpkin or gourd; for these prized pumpkins, designs could be added as well if desired. I’m sure these will inspire you to have more ideas for painted pumpkins.

MATERIALS: • Several small pumpkins or gourds • 1 can Krylon® Indoor/Outdoor Primer • 2 cans Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint in

desired colors • Masking tape • Drop cloth INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Clean pumpkins to be painted, making sure

3. Spray with Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint. Apply multiple thin coats to avoid runs and drips. Wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes between coats, shaking can before each coat.

4. Remove masking tape from stems when Glitter Blast is dry to handle, usually in 24 hours.

Tip: Slightly elevate pumpkins approximately 4” off of work surface to allow access to the rounded bottoms of the pumpkin while spraying.
