" It's easy to see why this idea is perfect for a Halloween party. Have some fun with these eerie eyeballs. Here. To make our creepy eyeballs, you have to start out with some wood skewers. These are just regular barbecue skewers. And you're gonna need some little styrofoam balls like these. You can get these at any craft store. Just skewer on one of your eyeballs like that. So you're just gonna use your poppy paint to make your eyes bloodshot. So I'm gonna do about 6 or 7 of these lines, and then, you're gonna put it in a little floral foam to dry, standing up like that. So to make my irises for my bloodshot eyeballs, I've got some craft foam here that I've cut into a little circle, and I'm gonna use my trusty hot glue gun to just add a little bit of glue, just a little dab. That should be plenty. And I'm gonna grab my eyeball off my floral foam and just stick my iris right on there like that. And then to hold the iris on and to give it a little pupil, I'm using these small miniature brads. You can get this in the scrapbooking section of any craft store. And if you stick it in while the hot glue is still a little wet, stick it right in there, center like that. So we've got our pupil, and we've got our iris, and we are set. So I can take this now off of the skewer and with this really cool purple pipe cleaner, I'm just gonna stick it right through the back of our eyeball like this, and I'm gonna do the same for the other side. Got some finished ones right here. So I'm gonna stick one on the other side. So we're gonna do 1 eyeball on each side of your glass. So I've got in there and I got one done here. So I'm just gonna put an eyeball on the other side as well. Like that. Okay. Cool. Stick that right there. So you're gonna make 2 of these per glass, and I've got some empty plain old glasses here, and what you do is you take your pipe cleaner and just start out right in the center, and you're just gonna kind of wrap it around the stem of your glass. You can make it as short or as long as you want to. I'm just gonna stop right about there, and then I'll do this second set kind of like this, and just wrap it around there. So if you want to, you can keep wrapping so that it winds itself up the neck of the stem of the glass like that. You've got some shorter ones. You've got some longer ones. And then you can kind of spread it out so that your stem is pretty well covered. And now is the fun part. You can sort of focus your eyes so that it's looking up at you as you're taking your drink. That's so creepy. And there you go. Here. It's looking at you, kid."
