I must have been bitten by a spider this year. Halloween spiders transformed into Christmas spiders. These little critters were made from my mom’s earrings and jewelry, random beads, and yes, I did have to purchase more wire and bugle beads.
I donated seven little glittery spiders and all sold at our church Artesian Craft Fair last weekend. They were a hit, and we all did a happy dance!
They’re all so sweet! What a wonderful way to repurpose old jewelry. I have a huge soft spot for spiders and now I’m tempted to raid my bead stash and make a Christmas spider for my tree.
I thread the wire through the clip on thiny to stableize everything. Post earings need some finagiling as well. A bit of glue comes in handy sometimes.
I love the little tag you attached to tell people why they need a Christmas spider for their tree. If you don’t mind, I might steal your idea to make some Christmas spiders for my friends and relatives.
