Spider Plates

I'm in charge of paper products for Super Kid's FIRST EVER school party. I was overly giddy when I found out they were having a Halloween party, but I was a little disappointed that someone else had already signed up for the cupcakes (I LOVE cupcakes). My only option was the fresh fruit or paper products, so I picked the paper products, because really... what fun can you have with fruit that HAS to be cut into bite sizes?? Anyway, Here's the Spider Plates and silverware (cups are coming in a later post, because they're still drying)! 













How I did it:
What you need:
*8 1/2x11 cardstock in black
*Black Paper Plates
*Googly eyes
*Paper Crimper
*Hot Glue Gun
*Paper Cutter or Scissors

What I did:
Step 1: Cut black cardstock into 8 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch strips (8 strips per plate).
Step 2: Crimp each strip using a paper crimper.
Step 3: Hot glue strips onto plate and then bend each strip in half and then bend a small tab on the end.
Step 4: Hot glue googly eyes! I used two different sizes for a fun, corky look.

I unfortunately can't take credit for this super cute idea. Here's the original tutorial.
