This weekend a few girl friends of mine stopped by and we painted some glass together over apps and desserts…I always love getting some ladies together to craft with me and use up my enormous supply of glass paint! I had this $2.99 bowl from Ikea I bought a few months ago, so I decided to turn it into a Halloween Candy Bowl for trick or treat night!
It’s SO simple to make!
What you need:
Clear Bowl
Martha Stewart Adhesive Stencils (holiday edition)
Black Glass Paint
Paint brushes
You’ll need to start by washing your bowl or dish first in warm soapy water.
Then take the Martha Stewart stencils and stencil your spiders randomly throughout the dish and follow up with little black dotted lines between them…or you could even do spiderwebs.
After the black metallic paint was dry, I went back and drew little red, green, and purple dots on their backs to add some color to the dish…which isn’t showing up too well in the photo.
After you’re done you bake your dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Put the dish in when the oven is cold, let it bake 30 minutes, then turn oven off and let it sit in there until completely cool. Let cure for about 72 hours before using and then you can wash on the top rack of your dishwasher.

I don’t know about you guys, but one of my LEAST favorite things to do is to address envelopes. I really despise it, but I’ve always envied people with beautiful handwriting that send in these gorgeous cards that are perfect from the time they hit my mailbox to when I open it up and see…
I was tasked this year with coming up with a craft for my son’s 1st grade Fall Party. There are 20+ kids in his class and I knew it would be a little chaotic and we wouldn’t have time for lots of gluing and painting. Given that I’m a bit of a craft snob, being…
For years I have struggled with what to do with my holiday cards. Typically they just get taped up to the side of my refrigerator until after NYE and then I take them down and toss them put them in a memory box to cherish for a lifetime ;). I always felt like I should…
Thank you to the Chinet® brand for sponsoring this post. I feel like summer already snuck up on us after spring never really materialized, but that’s ok because we’re already out and about and getting things done. At the top of the family DIY list this spring/summer was the treehouse that my dad promised my…
