Make olive "spiders" to decorate your food

You could go the Sandra Lee way and adorn your "tablescape" with black plastic spiders from the craft store.

Or you can use this little tip from Sunset Magazine for making something useful. Make your spider decorations edible!

Slice black oiives in half length-wise to make "bodies." Slice some of those halves again length-wise to make four "legs." Obviously, these spiders will only work if your putting them onto something that can "anchor" them, like Sunset Mag did on deviled eggs.

I wouldn't try olive spiders on cupcakes.

[Thanks, Sara!]
