I edited this one as little as possible in order to show the entire process, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. I noticed a lot of tutorials go over construction but don’t show anything about how they choose beads or when you could use glue if necessary. This also shows both ways I’ve been making spiders. One includes a longer body for a very splayed out view of the legs and the other is a more classic way with tighter legs and a shorter body. There’s pros and cons to each.
I’m just getting started so please let me know what tutorial you think I should do next and please don’t hesitate to comment or email me, CroftCreates@gmail.com, if you have any questions or need any help.
Supplies:
Anezus jewelry wire gauge 20 for the body
Anezus jewelry wire gauge 22 for the legs
4-6 mm glass beads
10-20 mm beads for head and butt
Flush cutters
2 pliers
Manual looping tool
Gorilla glue crystal clear
Beadnova jump rings in 8 and 10 gauge
Chandelier hook for hanging
Glass octagon crystals
30mm crystal sphere

Wire straighting plyers when they wear down. Fire Mtn Gems sells them.

For myself learning to accept that beauty is in eye of beholder ESPECIALLY if selling your art or creations is ultimately the end goal or in this current era, views and going viral brings the loot -my OCD with my art being perfect is often what gets me to give up😞
I'm gonna try UV resin instead of the glue you did only cuz I have some from other projects and I'm impatient 💯
