Start
by using beading wire through both the large and small crystal bead; allow
spacing in between for leg attachment. Twist to a triple loop at each end,
making a couple rounds is so that you can adjust as you add legs later.
 | |
|
Cut 4 wire strips approx. 5 in. long and loosely bend in half.
 | |
|
Add
your elongated beads 5 at a time then use 3 colored beads as separated. Do this
to both sides.
 | |
|
Voila!
You just made 2 legs! Continue for the other three pieces.
Now
attach legs by twisting once around in between two crystals, do this for the
remaining legs.
 | |
|
You
will need to form the legs as you go and tighten or loosen the triple loops on
each end as mentioned above for accommodation of legs.
 | |
|
You
now have a great crystal window hanger or just a really cool spider for your
curiosity cabinet!
 | |
|
That's all there is to creating your crystal spider!

Halloween music in general could not feature this song. Ladies and Gentlemen,
