Gold Lucky Beaded Christmas Spider

Description

The Legend of the Christmas Spider

‘A poor but hardworking widow once lived in a small hut with her children. One summer day, a pine cone fell on the earthen floor of the hut and took root. The widow’s children cared for the tree, excited at the prospect of having a Christmas tree by winter. The tree grew, but when Christmas Eve arrived, they could not afford to decorate it. The children sadly went to bed and fell asleep. Early the next morning, they woke up and saw the tree covered with cobwebs. When they opened the windows, the first rays of sunlight touched the webs and turned them into gold and silver. The widow and her children were overjoyed. From then on, they never lived in poverty again.

Since then it has become traditional to hang tinsel on Christmas trees and to have a spider amongst the decorations to bring good luck’

Each spider is made from metal, acrylic and glass beads – available in multiple colours  (but other colours may be available on request by custom order)

Colour selection denotes the colour of the spider ‘knees’ – each spider is handmade.

Each spider measures 7cms/2.5inches  across.

Your special lucky Christmas spider will come with a printed copy of the story.

You can choose to have your spider and story packaged in a pretty organza gift bag or in a gift box.
