Halloween Straws Supplies
- Black & white striped paper Halloween straws (Amazon has the best deal!)
- Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine (or other die cut machine)
- Sizzix Bigz die Candlelight Fright
- Black card stock
- Glue gun
You can use a Sizzix Big Shot, a Cricut machine, or any other cutting machine for this project.
If you want to go really easy, then you can skip the cutting and buy paper Halloween shapes already cut out for you!
Cut the Spider Toppers
Assemble a cutting pad, the Sizzix die (face up), some black cardstock, then another cutting die all in a stack.
Roll the whole stack through the Big Shot machine, then remove the spider die cut.
If using a Cricut machine, cut out your Halloween shapes in the size that fits your straws.
Cut the web line off of the spider- we don’t need it for this project.
Attaching the Spider Toppers
Add a drop of hot glue to the top of the straw, then attach the spider to the glue carefully.
Press for a couple of seconds to secure, then repeat for every straw.
Be careful, the glue is hot!
It really doesn’t get much simpler than that, right?
These Halloween straw toppers look awesome all bunched up together, just waiting to be used at a Halloween party…
Just place the straws inside individual glasses, then get ready to creep out your family and friends.
Happy crafting!
