Stitched Halloween wall decorations
Hey, while we're on the subject of cross stitch, have you seen the stitched Halloween wall art at Decor Hacks? Find the tutorial right here.

In other news, I just attempted to fold this origami spider. The video tutorial is good... except I used regular printer paper which is too thick. Use origami paper, or there will be too much bulk to deal with and the spider's rear will stick straight up in the air. My spider now lives in my trash can where he will be joined by other garbage and hauled off to the recycler. Origami fail.

I kind of want to step on him.
He looks especially vicious hiding down there, poised for attack.
Go for it!! That's the best way to handle spiders, anyway. Show 'im how tough you are!

That's great! I love it when people post fails as well as successes. :)
I think tour spider looks creepier with it's back end up like that. Like Emily said- poised for attack!
Attach a bit of thread to his sticking-up end and hang him from the ceiling!
Just greeeeat ideas, love your blog!!!!!!
The photo looks like you showing off this giant scary spider you trapped in a trash can, haha.
I just pulled out my trash bag spider webs from last year and they still look awesome!! Maybe I will need to add an origami spider crawling on them =)
Love the cross-stitched canvases!
okay, I'm totally doing those cross stitch pieces. I'm thinking a million different things right now about different ways to do it. ack.
Thank you!!
Thank you for featuring the cross stitch canvases! I am motivated to cross stitch everything I see now.
Your spider is sorta crazy. I think you should name it Beyonce, because it's bootylicious.
Such cute stitched Halloween decorations!
You should YouTube the "peacock spider" (Maratus volans). The male of the species uses its abdomen to do a funny little mating dance. It really reminds me of your spider!!! :)
It's a spider? It looks like a mutant crab - no failure here!
When you're trying to make a spider, a crab is a failure. :)
A dead spider is always better than a live one, IMHO! :-)
Is that spam just above my post, by any chance?
Yep, deleted it.
If only my failures looked as great as yours . . . You say failure I think awesome!
