Arachnophobia Spider Earrings, Necklace, Bracelet, & Ring Tutorial

Terrifying, menacing, ominous, and oh so much fun to wear and share! You'll have a blast scaring the bejeebers out of your favorite (and not so favorite) arachnophobes with these fun, life-like beaded wire spiders that look so real that you'll have to protect them from flying shoes and bug sprays!  This fun beaded spider tutorial collection will teach you how to make a pair of ominous crouching spider earrings (don't be surprised if folks take a step back), a beaded spider pendant necklace that features a terrifying spider dangling dangerously from your neck, a menacing beaded spider creepily resting upon a silvery stretch ring, and beaded spider bracelet eager to threaten anyone who gets sassy with you.  We recommend that you make an extra spider in the crouching position, place it around the house, and have some fun. And, if you're familiar with the Legend of the Christmas Spider, these little guys also make perfect Christmas tree spiders and Christmas spider ornaments. It's a thing, check it out.

This simple beading pattern, with over 70 high-resolution photos and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions, will teach you how to make a creepy infestation of spider jewelry that looks so real that you'll have to protect them from flying shoes and bug sprays.
