I don't know about anyone else, but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays -- maybe because it lets me feel like a kid again. After all, you get to dress up, carve a pumpkin, eat lots of candy, huddle under the covers watching your favorite scary movie... what's not to love? So, in honor of the upcoming holiday (which isn't all that far away!) here's a quick little craft project: beady spiders!
You will need:
- 20G craft wire (we still have plenty of the ColourCraft wire, on sale at 30% off!)
- 2 beads, 1 large, 1 smaller (these can be round, rondelle, even teardrop, though they should be center-drilled) I tried to stay in the 6-12mm range
- round-nose pliers
- needle-nose pliers
- cutters
- ruler
You will also need to know how to make a basic loop and a bound loop. Many of our classes teach this technique, such as "Let's Make Earrings," "Beginning Jewelry Assembly," "Intro to Wire-Wrapping," "Link to Link," and plenty more! Check out our class schedule online: www.nomadicnotions.com

Enjoy!
