How To Make Decorative Halloween Bug Decor
October 10, 2017
Halloween is just around the corner which means it's time to spook up your home decor. If you're not into scary Halloween decor we have a take that is a little classy but also can be used all year round and won't bug you if it's still up while you are working on your Christmas crafts.
You'll need:
-Wooden plaque
-Matte black and gold spray paint
-A variety of plastic toy bugs
-Surebonder glue gun
First spray the wooden plaques black with the spray paint. You may need to add multiple coats to ensure the plaque is completely covered. We chose black for this particular one but feel free to mix up the colors to make this hot glue gun craft your very own.
Next pick your favorite bugs of the bunch and spray paint them gold. Make sure to spray paint them on multiple angles so when you hang your completed project on the wall the entire bug is completely painted.
We chose our Surebonder DT-200F hot glue for this project. This model has a dual temperature switch so it is ideal for crafts involving multiple materials. Since we are working with wood and plastic, we used the high temperature and put a good amount of hot glue on the belly of the bug. Then place the bug on the middle of your plaque and firmly press down.
Repeat the same process for the other two bugs and adhere the bugs to the painted plaques.
