SPOOKTACULAR TABLESCAPE DIRECTIONS:
TO CREATE THE SPIDERWEB NAPKINS:
- Iron the napkins.
- Fold the napkins in half, then in half again.
- Use black fabric marker to mark the center of the napkin.
- Use the black fabric marker and ruler to draw a cross then a line from each corner to create an “x”.
- Draw curved lines to create the webbing in-between each straight line.
TO CREATE THE SPIDER NAPKIN RINGS:
- Cut the cardboard tube to width of the black ribbon.
- Wrap the cardboard with the ribbon. Add hot glue around the ring of cardboard then cover with ribbon.
- Cut off the excess.
- Attach the faux spider on top of the ring with hot glue.
TO CREATE THE SPOOKY CENTERPIECE:
- Fill the mini terrariums with Spanish moss and faux spiders.
- Place the terrariums on top of the goblets.
- Find a branch in the yard and spray paint it black. Allow to dry.
- Paint and glitter the faux skulls if desired. Spray paint black and sprinkle black glitter on while the paint is still wet or add a layer of mod podge after the paint dries, sprinkle the glitter. Allow to dry.
- Tape the bats onto the tablecloth as if they are flying up and across.
- Place the stick in a vase and tape bats on as if they are flying upward to make it appear as if they are flying up and away in a flock. You can also use hot glue for this if desired.
TO DRESS THE TABLE:
- Place the linens on the table.
- Arrange the goblets, candlesticks and vase on the table as desired. PRO TIP: place the vase in a way that it lines up with the bats on the table, so it looks like they are flocking up and away!
- Set your plates, flatware, napkins with rings and enjoy!
