Enjoy a free video tutorial to accompany the PDF download for this pendant! This is my first ever Halloween-themed design, and I am happy with the result. I wanted to create a piece for Halloween, but something that still looked like elegant jewelry. My design started with an oval bezel pattern that was the base for my Netted Bezel, Victorian Pendant, and Enchanted Tree necklace designs, and ended with a spider on top. For further inspiration, you can review those previous designs for different ideas on how you might further embellish this pendant, or incorporate it into a beaded necklace. I added my Custom Beaded Bail to the purple Spider Pendant below, to show another option. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For this pendant, you will need a 25x18mm Cabochon (flat-back). I ordered both acrylic and resin ones online at Fire Mountain Gems several years ago. Their selection has changed a bit since then, but they still have a pretty good selection of affordable 25x18mm resin and acrylic Cabochons. You will also need
- Two rondelle crystals (one 4x6mm and one 6x8mm) for the spider body
- 15/0 seed beads
- 11/0 TOHO seed beads (one color the same as the 15/0 seed beads, and another color matching the spider body). I think other 11/0 seed beads (smaller than TOHO) could possibly also work, but I haven’t officially tried that.
- Twelve 4mm crystals (bicone or round)
