INSTRUCTIONS

1. Lay your grape strips around the edges of your blank to frame the piece. Using a Wheel Mosaic Cutter, nip the ends of the strip to fit into place. Secure with a small amount of No Days.

2. Start your web by choosing the center point. This doesn't have to be the center of your blank, in fact it will look more realistic if it's not! From there, start sectioning off the blank with Amazon Green Noodles. While you are arranging the noodles towards the point, you may need to nip a few in half so the center does not get too high.

3. Once you have your blank sectioned off, you can start nipping smaller pieces of the Amazon Green Noodles into a nipping basket. Starting from the center, arrange shorter noodles around in a circle. As you move out from the center, the pieces will get gradually longer.

4. Continue arranging the noodles into concentric circles. Attach to the blank with small amounts of No Days Adhesive.

5. To build your spider, glue a black pebble to the blank with No Days. Nip a Black Rod into a nipping basket to create a small dot for the head, and attach to one side of the pebble.

6. Snap a Black Stringer into eight small pieces with your fingers. Arrange them around the spider body, making sure to have them touch the web.

7. Let Dry. Contour fuse using the 6 segment program provided.
