I got my inspiration from Happy Life, Crafty Wife to make this adorable test tube holder. You can see her creation and get the free svg file for the holder HERE. I re-did the file to fit the test tubes I had and to add 3 holes instead of 2. (Don't ask me why, but my dad has tons of different test tubes at his house...lol...so I didn't have to order any! Yay!)
The other files I used are from SVGCuts called Party On Elm Street. I also used the awesome stamps from Punkin' Patch Stamps! I used stamps from the Trick or Treat and Little Monsters sets. Go check out the cute stamps they have.
For the spider, I just sized it to what I wanted, and then made a shadow of it and welded it to the top if the test tube file. For the cauldron, I sized that to fit the space I wanted to attach it to. I actually made it a little longer than how it comes since I had the extra space. I only made 1/2 of the cauldron and I added little paper tabs on the inside edges so it attaches nicely to the front of the box. It is a good size too and deep...it will fit 4 mini candy bars in there! Woo hoo!
I did some embossing, lots of inking, added some funky, hairy ribbon, a few black buttons and embellished! This box is 9 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide just to give you an idea how big it is. My test tubes are 5/8" in diameter and 5 3/4" tall. I got the corks at Home Depot. They are filled with Gobstoppers, Nerds and M&M's.
Hope you enjoy my project ~~ Happy Halloween!

Kristin, this turned out fantastic! I was scrolling through my reader and scrolled back up again. I knew I had seen this spider somewhere before? It's those eyes. LOL! What a GREAT idea using the cauldron. Isn't it amazing all the different ideas we can make out of the SVGCuts files. <3 them!
