This is my first attempt at mounting one of Lady's molts! Ik it's pretty rough around the edges and I did NOT do a good job on the booty but practice will hopefully make perfect and I'm proud of it anyway!!

I'll probably have a go one day when I get a moult big enough to display! How did you do it? :)

Edit: just found your original thread on this. Still interested to hear how you went about it though. What were the tricky bits? Thanks :)

I basically followed the tutorial but her booty (I don't know the technical terms for spider parts, I'm sorry) was all twisted and mangled so I accidentally tore it a little when trying to untangle it, which made stuffing it very very tricky. I ended up not being able to stuff it well bc the edges wouldn't glue together without breaking so I sorta gave up on that. But positioning the legs and everything was super fun. And if you're like me and constantly have the urge to pet your fluffy little spider, this was heaven lol I sat stroking her legs for a few minutes like a weirdo! But other than stuffing the butt, nothing else was too tricky. I'll definitely give it another go next time around
