Instructions:

Step 1

Gather your supplies.

Step 2

Thread embroidery machine with black thread and black bobbin.

Step 3

Download Buildable Spiderweb Lace Doilies to your embroidery machine. We loaded design #12956-5 for this project.

Step 4

Cut 1 piece of OESD BadgeMaster and 1 piece of OESD AquaMesh larger than your embroidery hoop. Layer BadgeMaster on top of AquaMesh and pull layers tight in the hoop.

Step 5

Before stitching Step 2, change the top and bobbin thread to Isa TEXLIGHT Glow in the Dark. Stitch additional spiderwebs as desired.

Step 6

Remove stabilizer from the hoop and cut excess stabilizer from around each web. Remove thread tails using OESD’s Perfect Snips.

Rinse your spiderwebs under warm running water. Allow to dry on a flat surface.

Step 8

Spray your bottles or jars with frosted glass paint in a well-ventilated area.

Step 9

Coat the back of your spiderweb with glue.

Step 10

Press your spiderweb firmly against the jar. Allow the glue to dry completely before adding any embellishments. If you’d like, add a second web for a 3-D effect.

Step 11

Once the glue is dry, use a black marker to cover any white spots where the glue did not dry clear.

Step 12

Attach ribbon and add embellishments, including jewelry and buttons.

Step 13

Place OESD Pixie lights inside the jars to illuminate.
