Spooky and fun Spiders - RAK!!

Halloween is just around the corner, so I decided to make these super cute spiders from some wire a few beads. They're really easy to make, and they definitely dress up any haunted house. You can hang them from the ceiling, pose them on a table, have them peek over a picture frame, or string them on a necklance and creep everyone out.


I'm wondering, do you think I should sell these at my craft fair in late November? Do you think they would sell even though Halloween is over? How much would you pay for one of these little beaded spiders? Their bodies are about 1.5" long and depending on how wide you spread their legs, they can be about 3" wide. Leave me a comment answering these questions by midnight PST October 31, and one of these spiders may land on your doorstep! I'll randomly draw a name November 1 and post the winner by 1pm PST. Good luck!!

Hey Sam!
Those are really cute! I'm not sure how much to tell you to sell them for. Maybe $5? I think that they may sell if you also use colors other than Halloween/Fall colors. Maybe hot pink, etc? I'm not into gothic stuff, but I think that it kinda would go for people who like the new skulls trend (also a lot of pinks and reds). Hope this helps!??

Hello Sam,
I think those are absolute adorable. I think they are very creative. I am not sure if they would sell after Halloween but you never know. It is definitely worth a shot and if you sell out you could always take names and make them as the demanded.

Good luck at the craft fair!

Neat - I'm not sure if you'd have a lot of buyers after Halloween but if you were able to find "buggy" folks who collect spiders or other bugs, they'd probably snap them up. I like the idea of offering them in different colors. Cost - anywhere between $7 & $10 (depending on how much your supplies cost you).

i think these are very cute and if you stick within in the 3-5 dollar range. Different colors would be really good idea as well.

I love those!!! And, I'm not a huge spider fan. I agree with the cost range. Maybe you could have some bees, dragonflies and butterflies to go along with the spiders???

Really cute spider, though! (Never thought I'd say that!!!)

OMG!!! these are tooo cute. I would totally buy them for next year if I saw them at a craft fair. I'd pay $5 for them. These would be great decorations if you weren't into the whole fake spiders and decor. It's more sophisticated decor you know!! Great job hon.

That spider is adorable! I would buy one even if it wasn't halloween. I would keep it perched on top of my computer. If you make them is pretty colors as well, you might sell a few.
