5. Now it’s time to slip the seed beads and bugle beads onto the "legs" of your spider. Make sure they are snug up against the body of the spider. There are 5 seed beads and 4 bugle beads for each of the 8 legs of the spider. Each bead alternates: seed, bugle, seed, bugle, etc. ending with a seed bead.

6. After adding the beads to the first leg, cut off excess wire and use the round nosed pliers to make a tiny curl at the end of the wire to secure the beads. Flatten the curl using flat nosed pliers. Repeat this for all 8 legs.
