Step 7The eyes
The eyes are the last step before you spider is complete. I'm sure there are other ways to do them. You could even use store-bought stuffed animal eyes or taxidermy eyes if you don't want to create your own.
I did mine using small glass pebbles. You can easily find them in craft stores. They're the ones that have a flat back and come in a variety of colours for use as decorative pot or vase filler. I used the clear ones.
To make the eyes, all I did was turn over the pebbles and paint the flat side. The first layer was the black dot for the pupil. After that dried, I painted the rest of the back with brown paint to fill in the rest of the eye. Once it dries, it's just a matter of hot gluing the eyes in place.
The number of eyes you use can vary. Some have six eyes, some have eight. The configuration of how they eyes are laid out is all over the place as well. My suggestion is to go with whatever you think looks good, even if it's not seen on a real spider.
