and if you want to just print it off..here is the site it comes from... http://www.kraftmstr.com/christmas/books/spider.html

The spider is a big bead for the body, a smaller one for the head and a teeny one at the head to catch the twisted wire and keep it from sliding through. Cut about a 4" piece and run all those beads through and twist the ends. Then cut 4 pieces of wire about 6" inches long and hold them together and give one god tight twist around the wire between the head and the body bead. (I used those silver end cap looking beads for decoration around the body but they are pricey and not essential) You should now have a body completed and four clean wires on each body side...thread tube and seed beeds up the legs and twist the ends, then bend the legs into a spidery shape and you are all done. Wire cutters, needle nosed pliers and those round ended jewelry pliers if you have them should be all the tools you need..you can use the needle nosed pliers to twist if that's all you have. Sometimes I get the leg wires too loose and have to cut an inch long piece to twist around all four in the center to tighten them up. You can also tie a piece of ribbon around them to hang on the tree or they can just sit on a branch. They do make a good gift. Nice to see you Amy, been missing you!!!!

Debi I found it, sorry missed it the first time I checked.

I know Scrambled posted it some where on here I tried to find it but couldn't, hey Scrambled could you post the link or the instruction on here again for the spiders as Debi missed it, and I can't find it. I bead so I just looked and made.

Thanks for finding them Zoo, for some reason I have trouble looking back through the thread and finding them too! There are directions on Guitarists spider swap-bot thread too .. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/20823

Gotta run, catch up here later...

I'll post some pics later today of my pear preserves and canned apple butter and the 5 or 6 spiders I have completed for Christmas gifts. Need to work on those cork wreaths, they look to be time consuming! The problem is really that it's easier to store the pieces than the completed work till Christmas when it's big like that!

I'm making kitchen/grilling and egg collecting aprons to sell for Christmas as well as presents. Here is a picture of one, lots of other designs coming later.

That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of wearing an egg gathering apron. I'll have to make me one.

They will need much bigger pockets if one is going to wear them for egg gathering!!
