Paper Plate Lady Bug Craft
Servings: 1 craft
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 pair of scissors
- 1 Paint Brush
Ingredients
- 1 paper plate
- 2 tbsp red paint
- 1 pen or marker black
- 1 bottle school glue or glue stick
- 2 googley eyes
- 1 pipe cleaner black
Instructions
- Begin by painting or coloring your plate red. If you're wanting this to be a faster craft then using markers, crayons or colored pencils is great! Or you can pre-paint your plates too.
- Take your black cardstock and cut into a heart shape to make the lady bug head. You can use our template if it's helpful!
- Take a pipe cleaner and bend in half and twist into an antenna shape. Glue onto the back of the small heart shape.
- Glue the head onto the paper plate, hiding part of the head so that only the top part or the 'eyes' of the lady bug is visible.
- Add googley eyes to the black cardstock.
- Cut out a large hearts onto black cardstock. You can do this by hand or use our heart template! I loved using the heart template to make all kinds of animal shapes, and this project uses heart shapes too as the wings. Line these up and using either school glue or a glue stick attach to your paper plate.
- Allow to dry. Once dried, draw on little hearts or dots with a black marker and your lady bug is ready to take flight!
