Texas Fire Ant

by "Windy" Judy Raney of Garland, TX

Supplies: 2 small black crystal beads, 1 large black crystal bead, 1 large red

crystal bead, black wire, google eyes, hot glue, safety pin

Directions:  Bend a 3" piece of wire in half.  Feed it through the safety pin hole.  Next,

feed the red bead on both wires all the way down to the safety pin.  Bend a 2" piece of

wire around the "body" wire, and add a small black bead.  Bend another 2" piece of wire around the

"body" wire, and add another small black bead.  Bend the last piece of 2" wire

around the "body" wire, and add the large black bead.  Bend the "body" wire up and curl

the ends with needle-nosed pliers.  Curl all of the ends of 2" pieces you attached to the "body."

Hot glue all the wire into place, making sure the "legs" are down, and the "antennae" are

up.  Glue the google eyes on.
