Spray paint saves a rubber spider.

So way back in February… I was already thinking about Halloween.
I knew when I saw this spider at Target’s Dollar Spot that I needed to buy him, and that I would do something to him in just 8 short months! Yay!

A little of Krylon Metallic Spray Paintin a shiny silver, and he’s a brand new spider.  While this isn’t his permanent home, I think he looks pretty cool.

Can you “class up” a rubber spider…?
I think with a little spray paint, anything is possible.

    Eeek! Great job at spider refurbishment. But I have to say, I’m under the firm belief that all spiders belong under jars until hubby is available to squash. Just saying. 🙂

    From terrifying to chic…. Hmm, wonder if spraypaint can be used on husbands.

    Most definitely a classy spider! One that would make Morticia Addams proud.

    I just can not support this craft. I’m anti-spiders. Sorry, I have really strong convictions. 😉

    Love you, Viv! Just wanted to stop by and see what your crafty self has been up to!

    I recently spidered it all up, but, gosh, this thing is BIG!!
    Amazing how everything changes with a lick of paint, though. Even though it’s (waytoopantspooping) creepy, that decoration is all the pumpkin needs in my book.
