I love to blog surf. I have blogs I check all the time, and they often have link parties. I think it was from one of those that I saw this Halloween decoration. I had this homemade gumball machine thing that my oldest had made years and years ago. She was throwing it out this summer so I snagged it and put it away thinking I'd re-paint it red and fill it with peppermints and give it away as a white elephant gift for Christmas. If I can find the blog I saw this on I'll post the link since they did a tutorial and everything. All I did was tape the glass and spray paint everything black. Add a little orange Halloween ribbon and ta-da!
Here is the before: (Yes, it's lovely -- she says she was 7 when she made it, but I think she was 9 or 10)
And here it is all done! If I had a cricut thing I would add little lacey spiders crawling up the sides, but I don't and I don't free-hand paint very well.
