Cut a 28-inch length of 16-gauge wire.

Approximately 1 inch from one end of the wire make a 180-degree bend, leaving a small, rounded gap at the end. Make another 180-degree bend. Spread the tail to a 45-degree angle.

Repeat to create a total of eight spokes. Wrap the tail twice around the last spoke then trim the wire and tuck in the tail to hide it.

Cut an 80-inch length of 24-gauge wire.

Wrap the end of the wire three times around the bottom of the first spoke.

Pull the wire over to the next spoke, wrap around it once then continue to the next spoke. Repeat this process until the web is created. Trim the remaining wire and tuck in the tail.

Cut a 46-inch length of 22-gauge wire.

Approximately 2-1/2 inches from the end of the wire make a 180-degree bend. Wrap the long tail around the short tail then make another 180-degree bend in the long tail.

Repeat this process to create eight legs. Pass a padparadscha bicone and a jet round bead onto the short tail and bend so that the beads are on top of the legs. Bend the bare tail back under the beads and cut between the beads. Wrap the long tail around the bare wire and cut short.

Use a toothpick to apply a small amount of Devcon® 2 Ton® epoxy to secure the end of the tails to the center of the legs. Allow to dry.

Use flat-nose pliers to bend each leg into shape and bend feet outward on each leg.

Pass several legs through the web and use a small amount of Devcon epoxy underneath the web to secure the spider.
