Spider wreath

I've had an old Martha Stewart wreath for many years for the front door that just was, well, blah. (It was the glow in the dark eyeballs plus a crow, if you remember that one).

When I saw this wreath on pinterest I thought I had found a replacement. But the dollar store has no useful rubber snakes.

So we had a good wander around Dollar Tree and I realized there were spiders everywhere.

Spiders it is then. I think I spent $8 on the new spiders and I just put them on the old eyeball wreath.
What makes it super fun are the "escaping" spiders on the rest of the door. I just glued spiders to magnets and stuck them on our steel door. (We could use a few more, but I figured Jack would be messing with them constantly and it might make me crazy.)
The web is kind of sparkly. Dollar Tree had a glow in the dark spider tied to the middle of it, so I just plucked him off and replaced him with a better spider.

And then I went crazy gluing spiders everywhere.

Jack asked me if I had poster puttied the spiders to the door which turned my little light bulb on.
So I stuck spiders all over the house too. On the bone cloche...


And on the mad scientist mantle.

Hmmm, what else can I stick spiders on?

Man, I love Halloween!

You would never do that if you lived at my house, because we have so many real spiders we're practically a designated habitat. They're outside. Mostly. And they do good things, like eat bugs. But yours are cuter.

Snakes were so last year! That's when I bought a big pack o'snakes at the Dollar Tree for a future Medusa costume. I actually like your spiders better because of the escaping ones.
