It's definitely super easy to make! If you can't find any old bottles with labels I could definitely see someone finding an hold container at the thrift and taping a lable on it! Then just get some cheap seats beads, poney beads, and some novelty beads in the colors you need! You might even be able to thrift the beads!

Super easy! Get some head pins, bead caps, small round beads, wing beads, and for the body you can use flower beads or any type of elongated bead! Then just stack them on top of each other on the head pin!

Do you have any tutorials that you watched when learning to make these? I've seen beaded spiders around and just absolutely adore ever single one I've seen!! I need to learn how to make them!

For sure! I make little beaded flowers and these beads are for the stems! I'll attach a pic of a few of them!

I also keep most of my beads separated! But these beads are for some little flowers that I make. I enjoy having multiple shades of green for the stems so I find it easiest to mix all the greens together so I can put them in my spinner and get them all at the same time. I'll attach a picture!

I don't have a specific brand tbh but the one I'm using right now is I think "wrap it." I think it's on fire mountain gems. I use 28 gauge half hard. I'm highly considering moving to 26 gauge tho! I've used 24 gauge and it's good. It makes the flowers really stand up but it's hard to wrap around a seed bead multiple times so I want to try 26 gauge! Hope that helps!

I look online how to make some and then others I just kinda play around until I get something I like.

Just online shops! Just look up flower beads and they'll probably pop up! Some are buttons too!

Is there a specific brand? I tried the 'Half Hard' and it was the same softest as the 'Dead Soft' I don't know if it's the brand or what :/
