Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by cutting three lengths of chain: one that is 37 links, and two that are 55 links each. Set these aside.
2. Next, take one head pin and string on one bead. Make a simple wire loop. Set this aside. Repeat this 25 times for a total of 26.
3. Take one length of chain, 55 links, open one jump ring and attach it to one end with one lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.Move to the other side of this length of this chain and use another jump ring to attach one spider web link. To the other side of the spider web link, use a jump ring to attach the length of chain that is 37 links. To the other side of this chain, attach the other spider web link and then to the other side of the web, attach the final length of chain. To the end of the chain attach one jump ring to finish the clasp.
4. Next, to attach all the beads to the chain, you will gently twist the simple wire loop open, same as you would a jump ring. If you lay the chain out with the lobster on the left side, you will move to the first spider web. The link that is attached to the jump ring, just left of the web is where you will begin to add the beads. Because of the way the role chain sits, you will add a bead to every other link. To the left of the first web, please add four beads in this manner (Please see photo for reference).
5. Move to the right side of the first spider web, and starting on the first chain link (not the jump ring) attach 13 beads, remembering to attach them to every other link of chain.
6. Open one jump ring and attach it to the spider charm and then to the center link of the chain. Now repeat the above step by adding 13 more beads to this section of chain.
7. Move to the right side of the second spider web and add four beads as you did on the other side. If you hold the necklace up and all the beads are hanging down you have done it correctly.
