Kathleen Allen

Beautiful!! You are very creative. Love your videos.

Marianne

I love the Xmas spiders so much!!!

Lesley M Sgro

Glitter is the herpes of the craft world but is is SO pretty! The spiders came out so cool!

TeaLeafNeeka

Nothing says Happy Holidays more than “attack spider” lol I love your work!

Victoria Gates

I Wish we could see a tutorial on how to make the bat that’s on top of the tree. It’s just lovely. 🦇

Michelle Tawney

I just joined and am so happy! Love the ornaments, I noticed the awesome bat on the top of the tree..well done!

Absinthia Venamortis

So so magical!! I love spiders 🕷

Tricia Slone

Can you tell me what gauge the first wire is please? thank you

Marlowe Beckley

You could also paint the glass ornament to match the clay you want.

Nell

Thanks Katherine!!

Emilie

Absolutely gorgeous and mind-opening! So much of the joy of watching this is the imagining of other projects that could take shape using this infrastructure.

Katherine

Hi Nell, I just used floral stem wire for mine, I don't know if you're supposed to do this or not with that type of wire, but it did work out good for me.

Ishbel

I love these so much and definitely want to give it a go myself - where do we access 2nd Tier written instructions ?

Nell

Does anyone know what gauge wire Christine used for the legs?

Menmen Steps

Soooo pretty!!!

Abigail Wildes

I want to make several next year and have them crawling up the wall!! Love this.

Karen Brown

Your home is looking so beautiful and the Christmas decorations are very “you” xxx

Karen Brown

Lovely .... have you seen the culture hustle stuff? Mirror paint and fun eco friendly glitter. He’s a fun artist too.

Ms. Cordelia

Very much enjoyed this episode also, especially the tour of the decorations! Stunning! But I have such a fear of spiders, I can't even tolerate sparkly beautiful ones, or play ones. They scare me too much. Still, they did turn out beautiful and how original are you! Love the way your NY home looked with the snow and lighted wreaths. So gorgeous. I am in my new historic home in NJ and didn't have time this year to decorate it, we settled just before Christmas, so I am very much looking forward to next year. And I am taking notes and inspiration from your decor. <3

Christina Rodriguez

Oh my goodness I'm so behind on Patreon posts and am just now watching! Your Christmas decorations, especially that garland leading up to the tree in that nook are straight out of my holiday dreams! (Also curious how many ornaments have been knocked off of the garland/your trees by those kitties :-D) Hope you had a nice Christmas and a lovely New Year!

Amira Liese

The cinematography is fantastic, I love the slow motion shots of the glitter (and the water in the last video). The new music is fabulous too. Love your collective artwork so much. 🕷✨🦇 I’d love a bat tree topper tutorial too.

Satine ♡

Such a beautiful creation !

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

Absolutely! He really outdid himself with that twinkly creepy Christmas sound on this one. It's like opening a haunted jewelry box!

Gorgon's Eye

Let's just have a moment of appreciation for the Captive's hard labor! The episodes wouldn't be the same without this amazingly spooky music and all the beautiful camera work. So glad Christine has enslaved him.

Mary Launer

That dark green is absolutely beautiful, I have red and black ornaments so I want to make that green one.

Andrea Schultz

Because Patreon is selfish...lol. We ended up using Apple aircast. It was really annoying.

Lacie Fazio

What gauge wire did you use?

Haana-SikSik Sammurtok-Lavallee

oooh my! I love these, that sage green one is to die for <3

Cj Franklin

I adore them! My daughter in law would adore them too, which means they will be on the to do list to make and stash away for next Christmas!

Rebecca Shelton

I think she said she hot glued fishing line to the underside

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts

A beautiful dark grey marbled cemetery headstone, ornate with angels and gargoyles and it reads: Here lies the body of my enemy, Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts, Born, March 25, 1957. Killed Month:____, Day:_____ Year:2021.

Stephanie Wolfe

these are just insane! I want to make one right now. lol thank you for the video

Loretta

These are fabulous! I just learned how to make “jingle spiders” last year out of jingle bells and pipe cleaners. Can’t wait to add some of these beauties to the pack!

Dayana Alvarado

The perfect thing to watch on my birthday!!

Jen Wilhelm

I’m pretty sure I’ll have to make one in gold!! Thank you so much for the amazing episode!

Patricia Dunn

Happy Christmas Christine🍾 It has been a joy watching your videos - Thank you. Warmest festive wishes xxx

Cheryl Kirkpatrick

How did you attach the ornament? I missed that.

Mario Acuña

Anyone know why I cant cast videos to my Chromecast ? It only wants to use Apple TV.

Betsy

♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️

Michelle Schulte

I don't care for spiders, but I have to say these are so special and so beautiful that I am going to have to make some...Can't wait to see the sales after Xmas!

Ana Victória SURIAN

Just added this to the list of things I'll be doing with my fiancé as soon we move in to our new apartment, lovely!

Danielle Doll

Beautiful! I just love your hybrid of elegant and spooky! Also, for true crime listening, I recommend Morbid podcast with Ash and Elaina.

Jessica Darne

These were so gorgeous!! I’m thinking these would be fun to make with my daughters next year🖤 I imagine they would be so gorgeous in a plethora of colors too! Won’t lie though, that Professor Poof was trying to steal the show! All of your kitties and Gertie are so adorable! Hope you and the Captive and the furry fam are enjoying the snow!

Ingrid Baudine

Hello Christine. Do you have any plans on building a wooden custom cat tree? Happy holidays and kisses from France !

Hayley Hochstettler

are the ferns on either side of the tree from nearly natural?!

Jane Duprey

So very cool!! I can’t wait to make these! Did you use anything to seal the glitter? So it doesn’t fall off?

Casey Killoran

I love how these little ones are fun day projects! Your home is looking absolutely stunning and that last shot of it in this video is gorgeously eerie.

Jessica Irons

The house and decor is truly stunning! What a dream! I wish I could visit to look at all the amazing details. I’m sure you put care and thought into each nook and cranny!!! 🎄☃️☕️🍸

Jade Peirce

I was having a horrible night after discovering my car was stolen in the night, but getting to wake up and see These amazing spider ornaments to craft definitely made the day better.

Barry Perkins

So beautiful!! I am for sure going to do this for next season. Our tree is black and purple and silver so it would be great in our tree and garland.

Emily Thoma

I’m definitely going to make some of these! I LOVE the way the mixed glitter turned out on the hunter green one. It makes me think of all the beautiful combinations you could make! 😍

Megan Bonn

That house... I got a lump in my throat.

Rez NYC

These are so cool!

Hayley

I’m terrified of spiders but I still want to make these and place them all over my home! so beautiful! thank you for sharing 🖤

Rebecca Valentine

❤️ I’ve been thinking of doing a Christmas tree with nothing but spiders and webs. This just put this into perspective for me. I think next year it will happen. ❤️ Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🧟‍♂️🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

Molly

gorgeous!!! I would love to know more about the bat tree topper, was it one of your creations? Merry Christmas!

Marie Nemirovsky

I absolutely love these!! Super creative and festive!!

Elisa Persiano

Wow, these spiders are so luxurious! I'd love to have one on my tree <3 By the way, the house looks so magical with all the Christmas decorations! Merry Christmas Christine :)

Maureen S Holloway

I don't think I've won anything in my life but if I won the green spider my entire outlook on the universe would change. Wait...I lie...once I won a ten dollar gift certificate to Olive Garden at an office party. I'm done. The universe owes me nothing but I still hope to win this green spider.

Nicholas Frig

Definitely gonna give it a shot. If it doesn't work I will just add more glitter. Thankfully, all I have in the house is the extra fine glitter. I want to make few tonight and leave them on doorsteps of friends for Christmas, but I know some of them don't appreciate glitter like I do. I prefer not to glitter bomb them.

Amy Mullen

I've Mod podged-and-glittered shoes for the stage. That last layer of Mod Page does lock it in, and I didn't notice much reduction in sparkle. I think it works better if you use fine glitter, though; I used the Martha Stewart kind.

Angela Jones

Arachnophobe here: I was able to watch the video, but I must say that it is a testament to your talent how beautiful, yet magically disgusting these are. If I had these in my house I would not be able to sleep ever again!

Elizabeth Goans

Yay!

Kris

Very fun video :) Your house is amazing!! :)

Caroline Draper

Oh....my....god! Your home with the wreaths..and the snow....stunning!

Brenda L.

That was a fun video💖 loved looking at your house as well. !!

Jaclyn Goodballet

Can’t wait to make these!

Vicky Neish

Love this video! What a great Christmas surprise. Your house looks amazing decorated for Christmas, it really sings.

Victoria Gates

Love the spiders they are stunning! I’m looking forward to having a go at making them x Happy Christmas 🎄 🕷 x

Kate

Ooh it'd be neat if you drilled a hole in the bottom of the ornament and stuck a Christmas light in, while the spider is on the tree (assuming it doesn't get too hot and all that).

Emilee Dougherty

I'm totally doing this with after christmas ornament sales!

Linda

Hi Chrisine. Loved your spiders! Gorgeous! Try using E6000 to adhere gems. It is a really strong glue. You can get a decent sized tube at Walmart for under 3.00!

Rosana Araiza

Silly question.. does anyone know the thickness of the wire she used?

Rhelda Mortensen

Beautiful as always Christine. Thank you for sharing your amazing tips and tricks and how-tos! I always learn from you and know you'll have an outlook that's uncommon, which I love. Merry Christmas :) stay cozy and warm...

Rosana Araiza

These are beautiful!! Can't wait to make them. Wish Christmas wasn't over so soon. Ps, thank you for the magical Christmas Card. ❤

Kandice Tanner

Merry Christmas!!! I love your decorations inside and out!!! I hope you have a white Christmas with fresh snow!!!

Nicholas Favia

Love the way these turned out! Definitely going to do a bit of a spooky Christmas next year...time to start planning!

Brenda Fairbanks

They are so beautiful! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄 🕷❤️💚

Carlos Ponce

Loved this!!! This will be my project for next year's tree.

Elizabeth Puckett

silly question where do i find the written instructions for videos? I am new to Pateron and learning the set up :)

Paulette Mickle

I can’t get over how beautiful this episode is 😍 I absolutely love the idea of Spider 🕷 ornaments, and the glitter, love all things that sparkle! Christine, I also want to take a moment to say how beautiful you looked and how lovely everything is coming together in your new house, and let’s not forget the adorableness going on with your fur babies 🐾🐾🐾 thank you for letting us be a part of your world from your art & creativity to these unique and phenomenal projects. You are truly inspiring ❤️ I hope you, your captive and your precious fur babies have a joyous & Merry Christmas 🎄❤️💚❤️💚❄️❄️❄️☃️

Erin

Shaé Emery

New arachnophobic game : how much of the episode I can watch before getting triggered

Kathryn Evers

Yes!

Belle Summer

Lovely Christmas decorations! Everything is lovely, you, your music, the house, the filmography, cinematography, editing, wardrobe, decor, hair and makeup, and of course the cats!

Kimber L Calder-Isgrig

Beautiful

Ramblin Wreck

Great video !! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !! 🕷🎄

Kerry Shepherd-Bolt

Merry Christmas Christine, Your Captive and Fur Babies, the house looks amazing in the snow, love your spiders and I don't know why I expected your decorations to be covered in cobwebs, spiders and dust, still, they look gorgeous.

Sandra

I love these spiders, I will try to make them small and add them as gift decorations, maybe add a pin under it to turn it into a brooch. I can’t stop watching Gettie running in slow motion, that dog makes me happy, we have the same hair 🤣

Sandra

Winnie, stay safe, happy holidays and happy ornament spider making 💕

Hope Ohana

#treegoals. Love it 🎄

Hope Ohana

Lmao!

Hope Ohana

Please let us know how that goes! I'd love to recycle hangers this way!

Boonigma Anon

Yes me too! <3

Serenity Fire

These are so beautiful they make me want to do battle with my arachnophobia to make them.

Dianna Hummel

So cool! Since I have some people on the family who don't understand the darker side of life I think I will have to include the legend of thr Christmas spider to get them on board. Can't wait to try it!

Sarah

Also, Merry Christmas, CM!! ♥️♥️♥️

Sarah

Unbelievable!! These spiders look magical in every sense of the word. You make me so happy Christine 😭♥️ I always look forward to your projects and you NEVER disappoint. The green spider is my favourite, it’s so majestic!

Bernadette Schmidt

Magical indeed! And the music was just as magical. Loved this episode. Merry Christmas!

Marina salinas

Merry Christmas Christine. And thank you for making everything so magical. You are my inspiration.

Jen Deal

Fantastic! I am going to make a couple of these for sure! I think an albino one would be tres cool! Merry Christmas!

Melli

A merry Christmas to you! The spider are amazing!!

Adeline

Aw this is one of my favorites! Coolest ornaments but I am seething with jealousy over your white Christmas. Thanks for making this year bearable, hope you enjoy some well deserved time off!

Mathew Grigsby

These spiders are AMAZING. Christine your home looks so beautiful in the snow! <3

Bonnie Coniguliaro

May I ask what gage wire you used?

Karysa HorrorHoneysKitchen

I came home from work to see not only a notif for a new episode but also my gift from you!! Honestly my happiness increased 1000%.

Liv

This was purrfect. Crafts cats what else could a ghoul ask for!

Christine Brown

You are amazing. This looks like so much fun. Will you be posting written instructions? I wish it was Halloween and Christmas all year round. My 2 favorite holidays.

Tamara Lynn Chambers

These are stunning! I can’t wait to try these out!

Melissa

Sarah Bear

Beautiful spider!! I just wish more of the shots had the camera steady and the craft in focus like in previous projects. I love your creations and hate missing any of the details

Megg Sohn

Christine Manca

Fantastic and magical. I am here for the music while you pour red glitter. Your Captive has outdone himself.

Mrs. Yliana Chaleff

This is quite possibly the most mesmerizing video you’ve made! The cinematography is outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 hats off to your Captive. Merry Christmas ♥️

DMCM

Your home is absolutely beautiful. Merry Christmas. 🎁🎄🎅🏼

Heather Hill

Your house is so beautiful in the snow!

Brandon Grew

I made these a couple years ago after Christine posted her photos of them, and I found that in order to keep the glitter from flaking, I painted on a glossy acrylic sealant over all the glitter, and it worked out great. I also embedded the ornament’s hanger cap thing into the clay before I baked it so the ornament could just plug right back in and not potentially fall off. I love these spiders so much, and I can’t wait to tackle the bat next! 🕷

Tammy Warner

Merry Christmas, Christine! How did you like the tons of snow we got here last week? The ornaments are fabulous! I never would have thought to mix the glitters to get the color you wanted. This is a great tip! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Nicole Suplemento

I need a nest with babies! Thank you for your inspiration.

Oaknwichlane June G

Lisa Thibeault

Christine you just made my day!

Amber

They’re amazing!! Did you know that in Germany, Poland and Ukraine its lucky to find a cobweb on your Christmas tree! They even make web ornaments. Xx

Christine McConnell

Hello! It would totally lock in the glitter, but my guess is it would diminish how sparkly they are, that said, I might have to try it out :D

Christine McConnell

Oh no! I am so sorry, You will be in my thoughts and I hope you recover quickly. My parents both had it this month and it was rough, but they're thankfully on the other side of it.

Christina Zavala

So beautiful 🤩Merry Christmas 🖤

Sue S

So pretty! Have a great Christmas! 🎄⭐️

melyviiz

omg Christine.. u are really a witch, im alone now in my apartment cant go home because my test is positive and this will be my first Christmas without my family. I really miss my mom and my dad an my two sisters. And my cats. After this video i feel so much better - maybe i will make some glitter-spiders for my beloved ones. :) Thank you so much for sharing <3 i wish you a Merry Christmas from Hungary ~

Rebecca Cannon

These are beautiful! My three year old granddaughter would love these! She already loves all things creepy! ❤

Gemma and Amber Marino

Your house is stunning! Thanks for the wonderful spider ornament tutorial. Happy Christmas!

Nicholas Frig

Would doing a final layer of Mod Podge over the spider body once glittered lock in the glitter a little better? Or would it diminish the effectiveness of the glitter? I have heard of people doing that for some projects.

Tammy R Dowden

It's an early Christmas! ALL my subscribed Patreon/YouTube artists posted videos today! Christine, your house is GOR-GEOUS!! I was swooning from the opening shots of the house all lit up for Christmas! I can't wait to try out the spider project, and I know what you mean about glitter (I'm still finding it in my kitchen two months after Halloween!)

Danielle Gutierrez

Thank you for the new video! So excited to watch it!! 🖤💜🖤💜

Rebecca wiesniak

Wow your house looks amazing for christmas.

Dayle of the dead

I love this video :) thank you so much

Kozmoe Ditch

Can't wait to try this out, and I don't mind glitter either 🕷🧡🌙

Tammy Huth

i loved this episode!! sooo good visually with the glitter.. and loved the safe color. this craft seemed approachable for me, and can’t wait to try for halloween. also loved the book recommendations and christmas decor tour!

Sophie Louise archer

Amazing, cant wait to make these with my mum. She told me as we watched it she used to make the pipe cleaner and googly eyes ones for halloween but she like how these shine and sparkle. And my sister will hate it as she hates glitter and spiders lol xx

Megan

Excited to watch after work!

Vanessa Garcia

They are so majestic and fun to give as gifts.

Kristy Deskus

This may be my favorite video yet! Between spiders being my FAVORITE, the animal shots and the glitter cinematography!! 😍🖤😍

Angie Holman

Ooo, I can’t wait to watch

Eric Mutzabaugh

Don’t hesitate to make more small craft episodes like this, especially as you work on bigger things that are more time consuming in the future. This was like dessert! A great episode all around. The house looked beautiful, as did you, and the spiders! That green glitter combination with the copper undertone was spectacular. Happiest of Christmases to you and yours. And all the fur babies too.

Brenda Hunt

Love this!!!

Roxanne Araña

I loved these ornament ideas! My last name is literally Araña, and as someone who fancies herself a creative I would have never thought up such a clever concept! I too love spooky, spiders and magical things and I'm certainly making a few of these for my tree as well!

Lily

Well, Poof seems to be greatly enjoying himself in his new home! 😸 Those spiders are awesome and look so fancy. Wow that’s a lot of snow! We hardly ever get snow here in southwest UK so when we do it’s really special. Merry Christinemas! 🎄✨

Rachael

I have been desperate to make these ever since I seen them on your Instagram a couple of years a ago! They are beautiful! I think I need to make some that will be around all year long ❤️ Have a wonderful Christmas to you both, and the fur babies x

Emily Sickenger

I am obsessed with these! This would be so cute as a gift with a little tag telling the tale of the Christmas spiders: http://www.kraftmstr.com/christmas/books/spider.html

Rachele Russello

I love these so much!!!

Christine Lambert

This looks totally doable! I love this idea, you did an excellent job and your house is perfection <333

Samantha Scott

Cannot wait to watch this!!

Lily

Ohhh now I’m sad that I didn’t move up to that tier! I figured it would be too late for this year. Darn it! 💔

Katie C. Gutierrez

That green one though........yummy!!!!!

Roada Hawse

I know what im making tomorrow! I also made your tree topper bat too! And love him so much! 🦇🎄Thankyou again for all this inspiration! ❤️❤️ Have a fun filled Christmas! Xx

Kat

Wow those spiders are amazing. I’m definitely going to make some. You got to tell us about the bat tree topper!

Louise Hartley

YAY!!! I’m so excited for this! 🕸🎄

Sarah Johannsen

I love these these but as an Australian I would have a brief accidental freak out every time I saw them & then remember that they’re not real & also that I put them there lol
