I came up with the idea for this spider after making a beaded honey bee for my Bead Bugs book. I like the stripey yellow bead. There's always a way to create a striped look with spiders, and bumble bees are the ultimate striped insect, in my opinion. If only this spider was as cute and fuzzy as a true bumble bee.
Materials: glass yellow-striped bead, black diamond bead, yellow bicone bead, black and yellow bugle beads, black and yellow seed beads, gold wire
