Halloween Spider Cupcake Stand


Materials:
*Two clear plastic plates (I used the clear plates with textured-line pattern from Dollar Tree)
*Tea light candle holder
*Plastic spider ring
*Spider webbing
*White fabric paint
*Sparkly black spray paint
*All purpose adhesive
*Scissors

Directions:
*Turn the plates upside down so that the backside of the plate is facing upward.  If you're using ones with a textured line pattern like I did, follow the lines with the white fabric paint.  Otherwise, design your own webby pattern.  Once you've finished adding lines, set aside to dry.
*Once the paint has dried, spray the backsides of the plate with glitter paint, following the directions on the bottle.  Let dry.
*Once the plates have dried for the requisite amount of time, glue the bottom of the candle holder to the center of the front side of one of the plates.
*Place some spider webbing inside the candle holder.
*Cut the ring base off the spider ring and then place the spider inside, pulling the webbing around it a little.
*Glue the top of the candle holder to the center of the backside of the remaining plate and then set aside to dry.
