Step 1: Choose your color

To start off, i chose to paint my plaques black for the spiders body.

Step 2: Add some character

Once dried, I came in with a fine grit sandpaper around the beveled edges on each plaque. This helps add that character so it’s not just that plain black.

Step 3: Gluing together

Here i came in with the Beacon multi glue and the hot glue gun. I put a good amount of the Beacon 527 in the lower center. Then i came in with the hot glue gun can made a arch around the 527 glue to help hold while that multi glue dries. This all helps and add extra hold.

Step 4: Let’s add the eyes

I grab the 40mm googly eyes and hot glued them to the smaller plaque.

Be careful not to touch the gun to the eye, because it will melt the backing quickly. I learned the hard way.😝

Step 6: Creating the legs

I used the 16 gauge black craft wiring and cut 8 pieces that were about 5 inches.

Start bending the legs into the shape you wish. I bent them in the shape of a ‘seven’ with a little ledge on the top for gluing and then curled the bottom.

Lastly, Lets glue on the legs. I grab my hair dryer to help speed up the drying time.

Before i glue them in place, i laid them on the table and place underneath the spider to help get my placements. Start with the ones closer to the face and then go up.

*Please not that the wire might get hot if you are holding close to the area of adding the hot glue to.
