7. The basic assembly of the spider is now complete. The final step is to curve and bend the legs so that your spider can stand up.

The finished spider is approximately 1 3/4 inches by 1 1 3/4 inches, so you might want to where it as a pendant. If so, just make sure your loop at the top of the spider (in step 2) is large enough to allow for a chain or cord. If you want to make sure it’s extra secure, you might consider wrapping the wire around itself to make a more secure loop at the top.

You could also make some spider earrings (pictured) by just using smaller beads and less wire.
