This Beaded Spider from The Bead Studio is a perfect project for Halloween. Wear it as a spooky pendant on a necklace, string two as earrings or make a keychain for a friend.

Instructions:

1. Place the 8mm and 6mm bead onto the headpin and make a loop leaving 1/8" of play in the beads.
   
   
    
2. Wrap the center of each wire once around the headpin between the beads.
   
   
    
3. Add 4 bugle beads and one seed bead to one of the legs, then thread the end of the wire back through the last bugle bead (skip the seed bead).
