Sorry, it's a large file :3

1) What you'll need: Pliers, three types of wire (One for the cross latices of the web, one for the circular part, and one for the spider's legs), and old bracelet or anything round and thin, and beads (whatever kind you want. Just make sure they have a semi large hole).

2) Start by making a square by making four circles with your "latice" wire. This can be done by wrapping the wire around the round tip of the pliers, and then wrapping a second circle the opposite way as the first (if you don't, the wire will bend on itself when you're trying to work with it later). Do this four times and clip off the excess wire.

3) Cut four pieces of your latice wire, making sure that each is long enough so that when they are laid across the bracelet, there is about a centimeter or two of excess wire on each side.

4) Thread the latice wire through the circles of the square piece, alternating which side you put the latice wires through. Do it like you're sewing a button: one thread through one hole, then over and out the other hole. When you're finished, you'll have what looks like a wheel with eight spokes.

5) Position the wheel in the middle of your bracelet (by the way, my bracelet was broken, so I had to wrap some wire around the brake so it stayed in a circle). Once you have everything lined up, fold the spokes over the bracelet, alternating which side they are bent on. This will leave a cleaner look and helps the ornament to hold together better than if they were all on one side.

6) Wrap the ends of each wire around the bracelet. Squeeze the ends down tight with the pliers.

7) Now it's time to get out your web wire. Fold a long piece of wire (about a half a meter, or two feet) in half and crimp the fold. Thread the wire around the inside of one of the wire spokes until you hit the crimp. Twist the wire until it reaches the length you want to start wrapping the spokes (I went farther so you could see how the twisted wire looks)

8) Separate the two sides of the wire, twist them around one spoke, then continue to twisting until you hit the next spoke. Repeat until you've used all your web wire (this is the hardest part, and a bit hard to explain as well). You can use a bit of your web wire to make a small handle to hold a ribben for hanging the ornament.

9a) Pick out two beads. One should be larger than the other. These will be the body of your spider. Cut a foot of your last kind of wire.

9b) Fold the wire in half and crimp the fold like you did with the web. Thread the folded wire through both beads. Pull the crimp apart at the end with the smaller bead so the wire doesn't slip.

10a) Crimp the two wires separately, about a half and inch in length from the back of the large bead. Twist the two crimps, then crimp the wire again and twist the next section on each side. Do this four times on each side to make eight legs.

10b) Wrap the last bit of wire around the area between the large and small beads and cut off the excess. You can attach the spider to the web with an extra piece of wire.

I hope I explained this well. Comment if you need clarification Send me a link if you make one. I'd like to see it
