Crafty Goth Chick

Hello! My name's Aleks and I love to DIY. I decided that maybe I could share my DIY adventures and tutorials and help other goths bring a little of their personal flair into their wardrobes.

I hated the flowers on these shoes but the shoes themselves looked very cute on me so I kept them in the closet for years saying I’d do something.
Well today I did! I yanked off the flowers and made felt bows to glue in their place.

Look at how easily you can transform a plain picture frame into something spectacular with a glue gun and random things like ribbon, glitter, fake flowers and rhinestones.

Halloween: how to make spider web balloons If you’re planning a halloween party to remember, now’s the time to get making props and decorations for the event. One of the coolest ideas I’ve seen is balloons filled with ‘spider webs’ (right), which makes for a really spooky effect. You’ll need access to some helium, and ideally a substance like hi-float which will allow for the heaviness of the balloon’s  What you’ll need: - HI-FLOAT - 11-inch clear latex balloons - Small rubber spiders Instructions - Inject a little less than the usual amount of Hi-float into an clear balloon and rub it around to coat the inside. - Put a small rubber spider inside the balloon. - Inflate the balloon to about 75% of the full-size with air. - Seal the balloon with a plastic disk or clip. Let it dry overnight. Place the balloon out in the open where there is good air circulation. It must be very dry in order to form the spider web. - The next day remove the clip and deflate the balloon. - Hold the balloon by the stem and the top as shown to the right below, and stretch it a few times to separate the dry film from the wall of the balloon. - Slowly inflate the balloon with Helium or air. - When the balloon is almost full-size the Hi-Float film will separate from the wall in several places and hang inside the balloon to form a spider web. -If the coating does not separate, deflate the balloon, stretch it a couple of more times and reinflate it.

Halloween is my favorite.

Halloween: how to make spider web balloons

If you’re planning a halloween party to remember, now’s the time to get making props and decorations for the event. One of the coolest ideas I’ve seen is balloons filled with ‘spider webs’ (right), which makes for a really spooky effect. You’ll need access to some helium, and ideally a substance like hi-float which will allow for the heaviness of the balloon’s

What you’ll need:

- HI-FLOAT
- 11-inch clear latex balloons
- Small rubber spiders

Instructions

- Inject a little less than the usual amount of Hi-float into an clear balloon and rub it around to coat the inside.

- Put a small rubber spider inside the balloon.

- Inflate the balloon to about 75% of the full-size with air.

- Seal the balloon with a plastic disk or clip. Let it dry overnight. Place the balloon out in the open where there is good air circulation. It must be very dry in order to form the spider web.

- The next day remove the clip and deflate the balloon.

- Hold the balloon by the stem and the top as shown to the right below, and stretch it a few times to separate the dry film from the wall of the balloon.

- Slowly inflate the balloon with Helium or air.

- When the balloon is almost full-size the Hi-Float film will separate from the wall in several places and hang inside the balloon to form a spider web.

-If the coating does not separate, deflate the balloon, stretch it a couple of more times and reinflate it.

Halloween is my favorite.

Make your Halloween arrangements spook-tacular by pairing deep red florals with black accents.  Finish off your piece by adding some faux spider web.  Beware, it’s beauty is frightening!

Just glue wide lace around a glass votive and when you display it just keep the seam in the back~
