Spider-mum

Cut eight twigs with interesting curves in them.

Pick the petals from a chrysanthemum.

Match the twigs into pairs and glue them to the chrysanthemum (sepal and receptacle).

Add a tiny forked twig as fangs.

Set the spider-mum into the design. You can let the chrysanthemum wither up adding more character or (as I did in this design) add a tiny test tube to keep the disk floret hydrated

See the Tutorial below for more detailed instructions on how I make tiny test tubes from drinking straws.
