Step 1: Color the
ends of your strings, one
red and one blue. String on
5 4mm (or larger bead size
of your choice) on the red
thread and cross both ends
of your thread through bead
5. Add beads 6-9 on the
blue thread, crossing
through bead nine. You
should have two circles that
look like the number 8.
Thread your blue thread
back through the first bead
in the main circle ad add
beads 10-12 to the red
thread, crossing both
through bead 12. Repeat
this process two more
times until you have added
a total of four more circles
to the main circle. To add
the fifth circle, take your
red thread and pass it
through the fourth bead of
the main circle and up
through the 1st bead you
added in the second circle.
Step 1 - Big Bead Circle Add beads 19 and 20 to the
blue thread and cross the
red through bead twenty. Your piece should now look like a small bowl. Pass your blue thread through the next
bead in the 2nd circle you added (bead 7 in the diagram). Add beads 21-23, crossing the threads through bead
23. Pass your red thread through the next two closest beads (8 & 10), add two beads (24 & 25) crossing through
bead 25. Repeat this pattern two more times, creating a total of four new circles. When you have added and
crossed through bead 29, thread your blue thread back through the next 3 beads, 17, 19 and 21, this creates a U
shape. Add bead 30 and cross both threads though this bead. Cinch this tightly.

Step 2: If you look at your circle, you will see you have created another circle of
five directly opposite your starting circle. You now want to take your threads and run
them in a circle through these 5 beads. You can add a couple half hitch knots as you go
around to keep your tension as we move on to the next step.

Beader Comments:
Vera Perković on January 29, 2010:
I don't know how to print it all corectly,so please help me
Allegra on January 16, 2009:
Well, that's pretty good! Actually, I'm going to put that link right on the main page with the explanations on how to
print. A visual is always worth a million words. Thanks Laura! Is that link good forever? Well, I might as well upload
the picture to our site just in case.
That's similar to how it looked for me as well, with the large margins on the sides and top. I guess that's the best
we can do LOL. Not bad I guess since ink is about 100 times more expensive than paper anyway. But actually
when I tried it both ways (with and without selecting the pattern), my print preview still looked exactly like that
(except with the comments at the end, but you can always just not print those pages). But thanks I guess printing
with IE is better than with Firefox, since Firefox prints the sidebars (but not the background colours or the title
bar...which I always found peculiar lol).
The only difference with yours is that your view is portrait, not landscape. I prefer landscape 'cause there's plenty
of room for the words beside the picture that way.
Laura on January 15, 2009:
Also, in your Internet Options under the Advanced tab, scroll down to Printing and make sure that 'Print background
colors and images' is unchecked.
Laura on January 15, 2009:
This is what I see in IE 7 after highlighting the text/diagrams I want on the page, clicking on Print Preview and
selecting the options seen in the screencap.
Allegra on January 14, 2009:
Okay I just checked it out in my IE 7, (yes I do keep it installed for situations just like this!) and selecting the
pattern and not selecting it didn't actually change anything. It didn't push out the selection right to the borders of the
page. But on the bright side, the sidebars and the title image don't show up in the print preview, only the
instructions (pictures, diagrams, and text). So that's good! And it's black text on white background. Quite frankly,
it's pretty easy to print these patterns with the right options checked off. I've done it many times and they come out
great. Have you guys tried it?
Allegra on January 14, 2009:
Well, certainly not my favourite one, but apparently it has a leg up on firefox in terms of printing options! I should
add that to my blurb on how to print the patterns on the homepage!
Jax on January 14, 2009:
I tried on Firefox and couldn't find that option under any of my menus.
Laura on January 14, 2009:
I'm using IE7 - your favourite Allegra, I know ;-) - and to print the selection I go to the drop-down menu under Print,
click Print Preview and then when the preview comes up there's another drop-down menu at the top where you can
select 'As selected on screen' (the default is 'As laid out on screen').

Hey Allegra, the option to print the selection is only available when you hit print, not with print preview.
That's cool Celeste! I was wondering how she would look in different colors.
Celeste on January 14, 2009:
He looks great! When i make mine im gonna make the top circle of beads on her bottom red, so she'll look like a
black widow! Thanks for the pattern!
Allegra on January 14, 2009:
Hey Laura, I just tried selecting the pattern part and going to Print Preview, but I didn't see that option to only print
the selected parts. What browser are you using? I'm using Firefox. That would be awesome if that was possible.
I'd never even heard of it before lol.
Jax on January 13, 2009:
Hi Bonnie, Allegra also added some instructions on the home page on how to print the patterns out
Jax on January 12, 2009:
You are welcome Beth! I hope you post a picture in the forum if you make him!
You are welcome Beth! Eu espero que você postar uma foto no fórum se você fizer com ele!
Laura on January 11, 2009:
Bonnie, if you highlight the text/diagrams from the pattern with your mouse and then go into your Print
Options/Preview there should be an option to just print the highlighted selection instead of the whole page. Hope
that helps and welcome to the site!
Bonnie on January 10, 2009:
Is there any way you could put an option on that would allow us just to print the pattern? This way takes so much
ink and I do thank you for your consideration!
elisabet on January 10, 2009:
Obrigada pelo passo a passo da aranha, adorei, esta bem explicado.
Abraço.
Beth (Brasil)
Edit - Translation by Laura: "Thanks for the step by step instructions on how to make the spider, I loved it, it's very
well explained. Hugs."
Anne Fetters on January 10, 2009:
that is a great pattern, I copied it off and will save it for omy grandkids to have some fun with, thanks for your
efforts.
nancy on January 10, 2009:
Great pattern, Jax. I'll have to make a few for next Halloween. Thanks for posting the pattern!

Step 1: We need to add two beads on each
side between the head and the body to give us a
good spot to add the legs. I only drew part of the
body so base how you hold your spider on the
location of his eyes. Weave your thread, either one, I
used blue on the diagram but you will do this for both
sides so use the one that is facing this way.

Thread back until you get to the small black bead

circled in blue, this bead is already part of the spider
but I wanted to be able to point out which one you
exit. Now add two more small black beads, these are
circled in red to help make the visual clear and enter
back through the big blue bead. Circle all the way
around the set of five beads and go ahead and exit
Step 1
your thread out of the big blue bead circled in blue.
Make sure your thread is coming out on the side facing the head. You can do this by thread through the five beads
and making a half hitch knot at the red x (make sure it is tight so it doesn't pull through) and then exiting between
the big bead and the small bead.

Step 8: We are now going to add the legs.
The arrows look a little confusing but this is really
easy. With your thread coming out between the big
bead and the first little bead we added, add one size
8/0 black bead, on short black bugle bead, two more
8/0 black beads, two more black bugles, one more
8/0 bead, skipping the last 8/0 bead go back up
through the two bugles, two 8/0's, one bugle and Victorian Flower
through the big base bead so your needle is angles to
enter the next small base bead. Repeat this for both
the small beads we added as connectors and the
base head bead, circled in blue still in the diagram.
Thread your needle through the circle of five, adding
a couple half hitch knots and then exit and trim your
thread.

Step 10: Place a piece of wire in

through the bottom bugle up to the first size
8/0 bead. Do not trim yet because it will take
a little more to make the bends.

Make your first right angle bend between the

two size 8/0 beads, being sure to hold the
wire at the end. Make your next right angle
bend the opposite direction between the
bottom two bugle beads. Using wire
trimmers or nail clippers, clip the wire at the
end of the foot. Repeat for each leg and you
are finished!
