DIY Christmas Spider

Legend of the Christmas Spider

A long time ago, a mother was cleaning for Christmas.  Spiders fled up to the attic to escape the broom.  On quiet Christmas Eve, the spiders slowly came down for a peek.  “Oh what a beautiful tree!” they exclaimed.  In excitement they scurried up and along each branch.  They were filled with happiness as they climbed amongst the glittering beauty.  But alas!  By the time they were done, the tree was covered in their dusty grey webs.  When Santa came with gifts for the children and saw the tree covered with spider webs, he smiled because he saw how happy the spiders were, but knew how heartbroken the mother would be if she saw it covered in spider webs.  So he turned the webs to strands of silver and the tree was even more beautiful than before.  And this how tinsel became to be and why every tree should have a Christmas Spider in its branches!

Join Cindy Calder to make your own Christmas Spider from beautiful Swarovski Crystal and beads with a pewter snowflake charm.  Blue is also the colour of December’s traditional birthstone, Blue Topaz.
