#173: Beetle Spider

I had the beetle spider (and Beatles spider!) idea on my list of future spiders, and when I found real painted beetle wings at a bead store in Taylors Falls, MN over the weekend, I snatched them up. Like the Purple People Eater spider, the wings were very easy to wire to the spider after the rest of it had been made.

Materials: black plastic beads, painted beetle wings, iridescent black bugle beads, green and purple seed beads, green floral wire, high-gauge black wire
