i'm back with another dollar store makeover today in this video i'll be decorating my front door for
halloween felt it could use a little makeover spruce things up and make it look more fished
i mostly use stuff from the dollar store it's supposed to be a budget-friendly makeover there's
a couple diys and things to ring in the season my apartment building is actually having a door
decorating contest so i thought this was a perfect opportunity to outshine my neighbors once again
it's a pretty intense video took me some time to make this one plus the subject matter is a bit
phobia inducing i don't normally put many warnings in my videos but i feel it's a little necessary to
put a couple in this one first if you have arachnophobia if you're scared of spiders
this might not be the video for you they're all fake though so if you're cool with fake spiders
then you should be fine second warning your head gained a few pounds i have a big brain you do
the part with my girlfriend is not meant to be tried at home i do not recommend
you try that part i put it out there so any deaths that occur are not on my hands
this time so um here's my door not a lot going on
the lighting's pretty bad in the hallway not much i can do about sorry did i scare you i
should probably cover up my door number gotta censor that stuff out i'm pretty big on privacy
in fact a couple videos ago i led people to believe i live in virginia when i actually don't
but anyway there was a couple little bugs and spider webs around and this little mess
in the corner oh my god i'm just sweeping all that away need to make room for my masterpiece
i then pulled out the measuring tape to size up the door it's been a pretty intense october
this is the second time i've used the measuring tape this month
i really don't like the color of my door it's like an orangey brown orangey orangey orangey brown i
don't even think it's wood it's like fake wood chipboard or something i bet obviously i can't
repaint it though so i've decided to just cover everything up with a beautiful black tablecloth
either my measurements were a bit off or i just suck at cutting but the tablecloth was a little
off but it's fine it does the job come in it's not sitting perfectly flat that's because of the
hooks and stuff on the door but that's fine still need to be able to get inside my apartment though
so i cut a little slit for the door handle i also remembered to uncover the lock wouldn't want that
getting lost however i forgot to uncover the eye hole but to be honest i never even looked
through that instead i just never answer now the next step in the process is to start replacing
the real spider webs with fake spiderwebs from the dollar store i've never really used fake
spiderwebs on anything at least anything of this size so i was just kinda throwing webs up and
moving them around as i went right now there's a lot of dangling webs and stuff uh looks kinda
messy doesn't look spider webby at all looks more like uh i don't really know what it looks like
it's part of the process i'll fix it all up at the end and make it look a little more neater and more
intentional the dollar store has these little packs of different rings it's a little variety
pack with bats and spiders and skulls fun stuff very fashionable i already have a small collection
of them but i only wanted the spiders i didn't want to buy like 10 variety packs from the dollar
store so instead i just ordered a pack of spiders off amazon there were like 300 in there for like
six bucks plenty of spiders for my decor and a couple extra to leave in random places to spook
the neighbors there's a couple different sizes of them i liked that there was a whole variety
small ones and uh smaller ones and i guess that's it they're so cute look at him look at him i mean
come on so now i'm just pretending to be a flower girl and sprinkling some spiders here
and there and everywhere i was trying to be intentional with the spiders but everything
looks very messy right now just hang in there get it no okay speaking of hanging in there i thought
it would be cool to have some spider egg sacs hanging in there so i pulled out my white tights
no modeling for this part though i left that out i cut them into four pieces
and shoved some marble eggs into there that i have for no reason in particular
i could have used any sphere kind of shape i just wanted something heavy that weighs down the tights
and stretches them a bit it's supposed to be an exact so i couldn't think of a better filler than
well um an egg if you're new here and you don't want me to fling a sack of spiders at you
you should carefully consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel and ringing that
bell thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new videos every friday i then hot glued some
spiders onto them to make it look like they're hatching out of there and crawling up the egg sac
i played around with the placement of the egg sacks for a while i eventually just gave up and
hung him above the door that'll have to do i thought the door definitely needed like a
centerpiece though i wanted it to look like the spiders captured a hallway traveler and
wrapped them up in their giant mess of a web i found a willing volunteer to be the prey
say hi to my girlfriend i would hurry up she doesn't really like being on camera
but a lot of you guys wanted to see her so here she is in all her glory
the dumbest ways americans have died she can't really move much
but i assure you she can still breathe lift your head
i can't you think i'm joking i left a little hole for her to breathe so she's good
i'm not gonna tape around your mouth okay good idea
to make this i wrapped her up in saran wrap and tape
well i'm not like dying that's good
you know i don't think you take my butt i never really felt you touching my butt
i did take her butt oh you did yeah get me out okay whenever you're ready after i got
a couple layers built up i carefully cut down the back and freeter it was a little
floppy in some parts i wanted the torso to bulk out a bit more so i added some stuffing in there
i would have mummified myself but i think i'd be a little too tall for the door we thought she'd be a
perfect size to stick on there i don't recommend other people try this my girlfriend's just the
trooper so yeah here we are together she's 5'5 and the light is a feather and i love her so much
i pinned her to the door now she's not going anywhere anytime soon together forever get me
out i wanted to put sprinkles on guard duty out in the hallway i even got him some clothes for
the job a little cat costume that looks exactly like sniffledorf but he doesn't really go with
the theme and i didn't want to dress him in like a spiderman costume or something so he's gonna
have to sit this one out sitting is his favorite pastime anyway the little spiders are cute but i
highly doubt they're able to capture a big booty like that you think i'm joking so i wanted to
make some giant spiders to really tie everything together and make it look more plausible i don't
know how to sew so there's no sewing involved in making these giant spiders i try to avoid sewing
as much as i can i could have used like wire hangers but i already have a ton of floral wire
for sculptures and stuff so i'm just using that i cut four big long wires and knotted them together
in the middle i then hot glued them to the foam ball made sure everything was snug and cozy
today i'm going to be sacrificing my furry blanket
it has this little hood thing which i love and makes me feel secure turns out sniffledorf
also loves this blanket we ran around to the place for a bit to say our goodbyes
now that the spider's butt is all covered i'm going to work on the head i poked two little
wires into this foam thing for his mandibles then i skewered his head onto his body and
further secured it into place with some more hot glue i found it easiest to cut a giant
piece of blanket and then just glue it and cut it around his head as i went i have a million of
these little eye cabochons that i got back when i started my channel they've just been sitting
around collecting dust so today i decided to put them to some use they look pretty cool as they
are but i wanted them to have more of a creepy spidery look i thought some black beady eyes
would suit our spidery friend but then i thought they might blend in too much with his fur the fur
is already a pretty dark grey so i switched him up to red he's a demonic spider as opposed to
the other ones i hot glued his eyes on two big eyes and two little eyes
i also made him a couple little friends the same way we have this cute little demonic baby spider
so soft and fuzzy and deadly you think i'm joking and his big brother who prefers going by
daddy long legs i love love love how these spiders came out in fact one day i'd even like to make a
ginormous one for my backyard square i've named this one ted i wanted the spiders to look like
they're crawling over to my girlfriend i stuck ted up in the corner and then stubby and daddy
long legs on her body they took some convincing to stick onto her but i just kept messing around
until they did i didn't really show one on camera but you might be able to tell that i sharpened up
the webs a bit i took some down and stretched the others out a bit more to make everything
look a bit more realistic i couldn't really get a far away shot of the door since my hallway is
kinda narrow i did add some purple lighting for some ambiance really wanted to set the mood i
wish i could turn off the disgusting yellow hallway light it was just ruining the vibe
but sadly i couldn't do anything about that i'm hoping i'll win the door decorating contest
i'll let you guys know if i do if i don't we'll just pretend this never happened i
haven't seen anyone else's door but i have seen my neighbors so far the screaming toddler with
space buns looks like she's gonna lose this round and that's all that matters
wow his girlfriend's kind of pretty get me out sad that we lost her to ted click
