I started making these faux pearl spiders a very long time ago. Spiders and their webs are very important symbols of luck in Crazy Quilting.

Their construction is simple and faux pearls come in a variety of sizes and colors. Ideally, use the largest diameter for the abdomen and a slightly smaller one for the head. There are always eight legs and you can use the smallest diameter faux pearls or matching pearl finished seed beads. Sometimes I glue the head and body together and allow it to dry on a straight pin before I sew it onto the project.

Pick the spider you like the best, click on the picture and use the enlarged photo as a diagram for making your own spider!
