This week’s Digi Choosday challenge prompt is Spiders — so I made this decorative treat holder inspired by our eight-legged friends! I chose the Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween digi stamp because of her adorable spider earrings — a perfect fit for the theme, and too cute to pass up!
Materials Used:
Jar plastic cap (or use any small jar you have!)
Pipe Cleaners
Googly Eyes
Shredded Paper
Digi Stamp: Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween
Ohuhu Alcohol Markers: Y4, Y10, R18, R9, R14, P3, P4, GY3, CG020
Surebonder Glue Gun
Black Acrylic Paint (optional if using black pipe cleaners)
Paint Brush + Paint Palette
Instructions:
Prep your legs! Cut your pipe cleaners in half, or trim them to match your jar or cap height.
Paint them black if needed, and let them dry completely.
Color your digi stamp. I used Ohuhu markers and love the blend of fall oranges and pinks!
Attach legs. Use hot glue to stick 4 pipe cleaners to each side of the cap or jar.
Shape your spider. Bend each leg downward, and curl the ends upward for that classic spider stance.
Add googly eyes to the front.
- Attach the digi stamp to the back side of the interior so it peeks out cutely from behind the paper.
- Stuff it! Place shredded paper inside the jar/cap.
Fill it up with your favorite mini treats!
This is such a fun and easy Halloween project — whether for gifting, decor, or party favors!

The eensy weensy spider went out to trick or treat…..
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I’ve seen a spider treat holder.
This is so unique, all of you grew up using the plastic factory- manufactured pumpkin bag.
Spiders are used as Halloween decorations because it is associated with witches and the supernatural.
There is also a superstitious belief that seeing a spider on Halloween, is believed that it is the spirit of a deceased loved one watching over you.
Since the star of your blog is the spider below is trivia about that hair-raising arachnid.
-All spiders spin silk, but only some build webs to catch their prey.
-Most spiders are nearsighted, despite having 6 or 8 eyes they have poor vision.
-By weight, spider silk is approximately five times stronger than steel. (So I guess Spiderman beats Superman😅)
Cute treat holder but the bigger the better the more treats it could carry.
