Unique Beaded Christmas Spiders!

Handmade Beaded Christmas Spider Ornament 2" x 3" x 1.25" with Christmas Tree Legend.
Great Gift Idea...for: Friends, Neighbors, Your Friendly Mail Carrier, Family, Fellow Employees and Unexpected Guests that Arrive Over the Holidays!
Unique and so Reasonably Priced!

I get so many compliments on these unique little Christmas critters...but they would not be complete without their Legend, which is included.

Legs are made with a variety of seed and bugle beads. There are bead caps on both ends of the head and body.
The body is made with a larger bead. Head and Body beads are a variety of decorative beads.
It is topped off with a pretty little bow.

I have been making these for years and always get compliments and requests for purchases. They look so pretty on a tree and stand out as they "twinkle" in the breeze. A lovely collectible to adorn your tree or home for years to come.

I have attached a gold string on the back to hang, but they are just as pretty as a stand alone ornament. They come in a small gift box.
Great Gift Idea!

~ The Legend of the Christmas Spider~
Once upon a time, long ago, a gentle woman was busily cleaning the house for the most wonderful day of the year, the day on which the Christ Child comes to bless the house. Not a speck of dust was left. Even the spiders had vanished from their cozy corner in the ceiling to avoid the housewife’s busy cleaning. They finally fled to the farthest corner of the attic.
T’was Christmas Eve at last!. The tree was decorated and waiting for the children to see it, but the poor spiders were frantic, for they could not see the tree, nor be present for the Christ Child’s visit. But, the oldest and wisest spider suggested that perhaps they could peep through the crack in the door to see him. Silently they crept out of their attic, down the stairs, and across the floor to wait in the crack in the threshold. Suddenly the door opened a wee bit and quickly the spiders scurried into the room. They must the tree closely since their eyes weren’t accustomed to the brightness of the room. So they crept all over the tree, up and down, and over every branch and twig and saw every one of the pretty things.
At last they satisfied themselves completely of the Christmas tree’s beauty. But alas, everywhere they went they had left their webs, and when the Christ Child came to bless the house, he was dismayed. He loved the little spiders for they were God’s creatures too. But, he knew the mother who trimmed the tree for the children wouldn’t feel the same…so he touched the webs and they all turned to sparkling, shimmering Silver and Gold!
Since that time, we have hung tinsel on our Christmas trees and according to the legend it has become a custom to include a spider among the decorations on the tree.

This legend is found both in Germany and Ukraine.
All creatures great and small
Enjoy this season best of all.
Please hang me where you can see me
on your Merry Christmas Tree.
And tell the greatest story on earth,
the one about the Christ Child’s birth.
