Brightest Blessings Everyone,
  I’m Brittany from Following the Path as a Thrifty Pagan. Today I wanted to share a few craft ideas with y’all.
First, my sister shared an idea with me that I would like to share with all of you. You take liquid laundry detergent and make hand prints or write words with it on any surface. Put Black Light bulbs in and your work glows.
These next two crafts were done with my two daughters & their friend the first weekend of this month.

The first craft is a bat mobile. This was made with just craft items I had lying around. First I let the girls paint wooden angel wings & wooden beads, black. *I did touch-ups and painted a small embroidery hoop black.*

After they dried; I cut 2 pieces of white macrame cord/yarn and separated the strands. Then I threaded each head onto a strand and knotted one end.
Next I hot glued the heads to the bodies; and then put the cords between the loop.

The second craft we did was Spiders in a Web. My sister brought glue, Styrofoam plates, and a thing of rubber spiders.  First we let the girls squiggle glue all over their plate then they took some poly fiber fill (I didn’t have any cotton balls) and stuck it all over the plate. Then after they decided where they wanted their spider, my sister used the hot glue gun to place the spider on it’s web.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post & Thanks Mrs. B for letting me be apart of this.
Blessed Be,   
    Mrs. Brittany Michelle Holland (aka CelticDragonfly)
