Jingle Bell Spiders

So I went to my sisters annual Gatehouse sale which is the name of her business in Costa Mesa Ca. She has amazing indoor and outdoor high quality furniture along with imported home decor items. Anyways I helped out at the sale and had a great time talking with customers and hanging out with my sisters, my daughters and my niece.It was chaotic at times but that was the best part! At the end of the day she gave me a lot of things for helping one which being a replica paint can filled with jingle bells. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them but I like making things and I thought I'll figure out something to do with them. So, being Halloween is coming up I decided no time like the present to look on line for a project with jingle bells,right? So, I type in jingle bell Halloween crafts and click on images. Well up pops a jingle bell spider and I think perfect! It looks easy enough to make and the direction are there on how to make it. So off to Michaels "where creativity happens" I go. I need pipe cleaners, beads ( cause each spider takes 24 beads ) and some 20 gauge wire. Well what seemed to look easy was not so easy. Putting two pipe cleaners through the same hole can be a challenge. Putting wire to secure the two bells to make a body was another challenge. Thanks to my husband, he seen my frustration and decided he would help me out and get me started. So I took a deep breath and jumped back in. Things were going smooth and then comes the bending of the pipe cleaners to make the legs look like a spider. Good Lord you wouldn't think that would be hard at all but you try it! My poor spiders looked like they had broken legs! Some came out really good and others not so good. I decided to take the project to another level and took the supplies to my in laws and recruited them to help me finish all these spiders. They seen the one I had already made and commented on how dang cute he was and then I said here you try. Well the next comment was now we know to appreciate the hard work it takes to make these jingle bell spiders and we can all take pride in knowing we did it!
