Bug Eye Picture Frame

Thank you blog world for feeding into my need to craft!
We all hit crafting blocks from time to time and this was one of the first things I saw that I knew I needed to craft!
There were 2 main reasons I chose this project.
It was inexpensive and it was something that I knew I could do before the baby arrived.
Thank you A Diamond in the Stuff for posting this Halloween craft!

Googly Eye {Halloween} Frame

Courtney's tutorial is great!
I'm going to post mine as I did a few variations.

Supplies

-Wood Frame $1

-Letters $0.19 x 3= $0.57

-Spider $0.29

-Gloss Paint (Black & Orange) $1.29 x 2= $2.58

-Flat Paint (Green) $0.79

-Moveable Eyes (assorted size) $2.99

Total $ 8.80 after tax

Items I already had included the ribbon, foam paint brushes (you can
get a 6 pack of these at Hobby Lobby for about $1, glue (hot or other)
and a black & a white paint marker)

Instructions

1. Paint all your parts

The Spider 

 The Letters

 ...and of course the frame.

2. Start gluing on the eyes

 this is a tedious process and took a little longer than I anticipated!

Don't forget to glue your smallest eyes on your spider

(should you choose to a spider, Michael's had other shapes as well, Witch Hats, Cat Silhouettes, etc)

 3.  Add the small details

 I added a little spider smile using a paint marker...

...and polka dots to my EEK also with a paint marker.

I'm sure you could do this with the paint you purchased too.

 I added some purple ribbon down the side.

4. Finish!

Here you can see that I glued my letters and spider onto the ribbon.

Also I printed off a graphic of a spider web for the middle opening.

Next year I might replace it with a picture of our little one's first Halloween!

I hope everyone is starting to feel inspired to start their own Halloween & Fall crafts!

Thank you Courtney for your awesome tutorial and for inspiring me to get crafty!

I hope everyone had a Blessed Saturday!

This week's verse to memorize:

"Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely.  They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience."~ Titus 2:2
