Spider and Candy Boxes

I wanted to think outside the box and try to create something for Halloween from items that weren't all that Halloween. I could have made a card or just the candy boxes but I wanted a fun challenge for myself and I think I did alright with it. I made a Spider using the Art Philosophy cartridge. I cut the square doily from page 66 - font layer (shift) for the spider's body and then the border from page 65 - font layer (no shift) for the legs. His eyes are just black circles on white, then colored with a green metallic marker. The mouth - (LOL) - is 4 commas (2 red, 2 black) and a black 8 with the circles removed. The red is supposed to be blood. I outlined it all in the same green metallic marker to make it more noticeable.

I also created some candy boxes using the box from the Art Philosophy cartridge page 28, font layer (shift). These are small boxes. Just a bit over 2.5"h when measured from the middle of the boxes when they are folded. I wrapped them with more of the border that I used in my spider above and added a tag (also from the AP cart, page 43 <square> with a Halloween image from the October 31st cartridge. I made a bunch of these candy boxes using random Halloween papers from my paper stash and plan on sending them to school with my kids.

Since I thought of putting a candle in the middle of my Spider for fun, I found this caramel spice candle and lit it up to see what my spider could look like in the dark!! Pretty spooky to me....  

Well that's my project for this September Art Philosophy Blog Hop! Have a great day!!
