3. Stick the pinhead through the center of the ball; then, create a wrapped loop with pliers.
4. Push white paper covered floral wire through middle of the ball to create eight legs. Add a dab of glue at the base of the legs to keep in place.
5. Color the legs with black marker; then bend each end.
6. Attach a silver chain to your spider with a jump ring. Use another jump ring on the opposite end to attach your earring hook.
