17. Creepy Crawly Magnet Sets
Give your refrigerator, school locker, or magnetic whiteboard a terrifying makeover with creepy crawly magnet sets. This simple yet highly effective DIY involves attaching strong neodymium magnets to the undersides of realistic plastic insects, spiders, and centipedes. It is a quick, fun craft that results in hilarious pranks, as you can place these realistic pests in unexpected magnetic locations to startle your family and friends.
Purchase a pack of high-quality, realistic plastic bugs from a toy or party supply store. If you want a more cohesive, artistic look, spray paint all the bugs in a solid color, such as matte black, metallic gold, or neon green. Once dry, flip the bugs over and use a strong adhesive like E6000 or hot glue to secure a small, powerful ceramic or neodymium magnet to their bellies. Once the glue has cured, your bugs are ready to invade. Arrange them in a creeping line climbing up your refrigerator door or clustering around your locker lock for a fun, interactive Halloween display.
