Pinterest Board for Free Project HERE I was looking up Free Projects- art stuff made out of free stuff, when I saw some cool looking spiders. They were lit up, one red, one green and one blue spider - made with colored light bulbs and wire. Super cool, right? It looked like the artist used no glue, just wire, by wrapping each leg around the middle. There also seems to be a little battery stuck on the light bulbs, which is probably the reason they are lit up. Because this looked like a great & awesome project, I decided to attempt a "light bug" as well. The light bulbs I used were broken and cannot light up. I'm not sure if I'd want to try and light them up, even if they could, because of the wire wrapped around it. The creator I based my work off of didn't appear to use any hot glue for the legs or anything else. This proved too difficult for me, as I had not enough wire to wrap each leg around the thorax. This means that I had to go with the hot glue gun and glue absolutely everything. I cut each leg out of wire with wire cutters, bent the legs into shape, then glued them on. This project was very entertaining and interesting to see, everyone had different ideas and different materials. When you get to see other people making art, it is always fun. This project was definitely a success. It was not hard to make all the legs, but definitely a bother. The legs could have been better but this way it gives off a good effect, the little messy appearance. It is somewhat realistic
