Not everyone spiders, but among them there are so big and beautiful, and not poisonous at all, that they take your breath away. If anyone doesn’t understand what I’m talking about, I’ll give an example: tarantulas, especially males, are large and very beautiful and fluffy. This is exotic. Nature has clearly tried over their bright and original colors. But I love them rather in the photo and on the Internet, remotely so to speak. And finally, I was given the opportunity that I want to use to create my eight-legged handsome man, and decided to make him my talisman.

We say this - draw more of what you fear, your fears, and they will cease to scare you. Therefore, such spiders will be pleasant to do with children who will already be watching without any fear at these scary-cute creatures. And I want to note that working with foil is suitable even for kids. But for the adult generation, you can use wire instead of foil, which is also wrapped with threads. The main thing for us is that the legs bend as we wish. In this case, my dimensions are as follows: the foil strips are 5 cm wide and a little bit smaller than the inner threads, which are 20 cm long (4 long legs). Separate 5 part (10 cm. Is the "spider nippers" chelicera), and here we will start.

Tear off the excess foil or cut it off. We need to create long little details with ponytails of threads peeking out of them. By starting the thread, wrap it, and then, changing the foil slowly, we try to scroll between the thumb and forefinger, but do not bother so that the foil does not tear. Here, the inner thread is a fastening soft core, so this is a good safety net for strength.

You can start with the shortest part of the "pliers" in Fig. We glue the ends of the threads with super-glue, and begin to wrap tightly, and at the end we again glue the ends of the threads. And so we continue with all the other future paws. It turns out beautifully when the colors on each fold of the paws are contrasting. At the same time, it is not necessary to break off the main thread, just pull it and twine it in a different color, while capturing all the tails of the thread.

Now take a piece of any filler. It is desirable that it be 5 times larger than the center wrapped on the paws. We select soft and thick threads, and we begin to wind the sintepon not tightly, slowly transforming it into a round. As you felt that everything turned out evenly, you can now start wrapping with silk threads. They can be connected in different colors several pieces. And now you will feel how the kruglyashik in your hands begins to grow stronger and turn into a dense part-body. And as they wound, it is advisable to stitch through some places in the middle, so the winding will fix and the threads will not move out.
