craftgrrl | Cheap, easy necklace + New use for TicTac containers

First off, I really like Halloween. Mostly because it's the only time I see orange in abundance, and orange is my favorite color. But that's beside the point. The other day at Claire's I saw a really cute necklace. But all it was was a small plastic spiderweb sort of thing on springy memory wire. For 5 or 6 dollars! I thought to myself: Self... I can make that!

It appeared to me that the spiderweb thing was very similar to cut confetti that is everywhere for every holiday now. So I picked up some confetti on sale (Unfortunately I couldn't find spiderwebs, but I'm going to look at WalsMart tonight). I glued the confetti to an eye pin, put a jump ring on, and slid it onto some memory wire. I'm happy with it.

The ghost part is actually two ghosts back to back, with the eye pin sandwiched in between. I used E6000. (Isn't it great?) I stuck on the BOO! for fun. :o)

So... after using a total of 3 pieces from an entire pack of confetti, I needed somewhere to put the rest, and the original pack wasn't a zippy. So I put it all into a tictac container! Spiffy, eh? :o)
