I saw an amazing family of spiders which peaked my
interest. You can see them here: Heather at the Inspiration Cafe
She is one of the co-authors of Inspiration Cafe and also hosts her own blog
I had to try my hand at these little gems, so I Googled "beaded spiders"
and came across a very talented artist! You can find her
She has a blog called 365 spiders. That's right,
she made 365 spiders in a year; that would be one a day!
Holy crap! That's a lot of spiders! They are amazing.
The tutorial I found on Google, was actually on Instructables which was super easy to follow!
This is what I came up with. I was very excited after my first, which let's face it, was pretty crude.
We will call him Wolfy! |
But after I found some more appropriate beads in my craft room, I was off!
She`s a real lady! |
Espresso I epoxied small beads onto a larger yucky wooden bead to glam him up! |
And then I stopped, cuz I had to go to the dentist. :(
And now I am back from the dentist armed with more beads from the Dollar Tree!
And yes....I am building an army!
Of course....Charlotte |

They're coming for you...... |
Go and make yourself a spider or six!! I guessing you will be hooked after your first.
Stay tuned. I've already finished three more since I posted. They just keep getting better.
