DIY Magnetic Bugs

We just love Halloween!!! Can you tell? Ha!  Found these lovely plastic roaches at Dollar Tree and thought they would be great on lampshades and curtains.  With the addition of magnets you can place them on any fabric or metal surface.

I really, really hate roaches, but just love how creepy these look!!! I don't know 
whether to scream or laugh when I see them.

All you need are plastic bugs from Dollar Tree, E600 glue
and heavy duty magnetic buttons.

      The only good thing I can say about these bugs is that they won't fly at you like the real ones do down here in Texas!!! I know, they are truly gross and disturbing and make you go "Ewww" !!! But they still make me smile......maybe because I know they aren't real. Thanks so much for stopping in.
