Unveiling the Mystical DIY Crystal Ball: Perfect Halloween Decor

I made a crystal ball out of a globe from a lighting fixture and what I believe is a coaster holder. I hope you enjoy!

So creative! And the music kept me anticipating your every move! 🧙🏻‍♀️

[@heatherbellino3273]

Thank you for sharing your creativity. I’m loving it. Your silver piece is a wine bottle coaster. To keep drips off your table. 🍾

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Oh, cool. That makes total sense with the grapes. Lol. Thank you for letting me know. And thanks for watching!

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

How cool is that?! I have a whole cabinet full of wine bottle coasters and never once thought using them for anything else. So, if I could find myself a cast-off light globe...thank you for this fabulous inspiration!

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Yay! I hope you do!! I think I'll be looking for more too. 😆

[@susanpowell6240]

Cute idea. The base is a wine bottle caddy like trivet. Keeps sweaty bottle off your table & catches dribble spills. Cotton batting would dye nicely.

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Thank you so much! I'm not really a wine drinker, so I never would have known that. Cotton batting is a good idea! 💡

[@ginnypeveto7168]

This is too cute. You were lucky to find the base that fits the globe and the bling was a great touch. I wonder what the globe would look like with the mercury glass paint effect on the inside? Great job!

[@illuminaticsstudio]

I had the same thought. Guess I'll have to try that next time 😉

[@RosieK65]

Very clever!

[@theresathompson2784]

Pretty Cool!

[@paulinebradford4823]

I just love this!

[@beckygarcia4416]

Good job!

[@stacypolk3580]

Love your talent.

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Thank you 😊

[@keldaogg2157]

We need a lot more videos from you. Please!

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Thanks so much! You will get them. ❤️

[@charlenepallante183]

This is very cool!!!! Love the idea!!! See a thrift store run in the very near future!!!!

[@1961Vicki]

Very cool. Great job!

Tulle works really well. I made one last year, I used purple tulle to put inside a globe that I bought from dollar tree that comes with its lid. Several years back I had found a purple tea light candle at Wal-Mart that changes colors with every blink. I placed it on the inside of the lid, turned it on and it looks great if I do say so myself🙃

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Oooh, nice! Tulle is a great idea. 💡

[@tinap8955]

Great outcome. I love the look of your crystal ball.

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Thanks! 🤗

Use tore up cotton balls they will dye wonderfully :)

[@saphirefoxirl]

there's fake spider web you can sometimes get in bright colours. Maybe that would work

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Oh my gosh, you're brilliant! Yes, I'll be looking for that now. Thank you ❤️

[@elijahh.9451]

Maybe you can use some felting wool instead of the polyfill next time? It comes in basically every colour. It is more expensive though.

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Great idea! I'll look into that, thank you!

[@robindonnelly]

I think it turned out awesome! I wonder if Distress Ink sprays would work to dye the Poly-fil? It stains everything touches… 😂 so, maybe?

[@illuminaticsstudio]

I wondered that, too. I put all mine in destash boxes because I hardly ever used them anymore. Of course, as soon as I get rid of something is when I need it. 🤦‍♀️ I just need an expanding craft room. Lol

[@janieleedawe9051]

I have no idea how to dye polyfil, but if you have acrylic yarn in the colour you want to showcase, wrap it around a 3" width of cardboard and cut it down the length of your wrap. You'll now have 6" lengths of yarn. Next, fold them in half. Cord them over a dowel by passing the two cut ends though the loop making a fringe on the dowel. Take a cat brush and brush out the yarn from the dowel to the ends. It'll become fluffy. You can then just cut the fluff off of the dowel. Viola - vibrant fluff!

[@illuminaticsstudio]

That's brilliant! My daughter is a yarner and has tons of yarn. I'll be trying that, thanks!

[@tinadawson2073]

I have had better luck using metalics paint on the inside. The fairy lights then give of a nice glow

[@Jean-qu3ru]

Looks like a wine coaster. You put a wine bottle in it. The cork was to absorb any moisture coming off the bottle.

[@illuminaticsstudio]

Thank you. I don't really drink wine, so I never would've known that.

[@judywilson8739]

Spray paint the poly stuffing

[@sarahndipity_7]

Synthetic material never takes dye well, something natural like cotton would be much easier

[@jennifertaylor7762]

What is the tool you use to grab the rhinestones?

[@illuminaticsstudio]

It's called a wax tip picker tool or a wax pen. Put those into Amazon and you'll get a ton of options. They are life changing. Lol

[@jennifertaylor7762]

Thank you!
