How to make a LadyBug with a paper plate

Hi, everyone!!!

As soon will be San Valentine's Day, and the main color of this celebration is red, we will craft an animal that has this color: a beautiful ladybug.



For this project we will need the following.

Materials:

  • Paper plate
  • 2 pom poms (black)
  • EVA foam (black)
  • Acrylic paint (red and white)
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Bond paper (white)
  • Fine-tipped paintbrush 
  • Hot glue gun

How to do it:
  • We will trace and cut on white paper, the head and the details of the ladybug. (this way we will get our templates). For the head I used a glass and for the little circles of its body I used a coin.

  • Now let's trace and cut out templates on EVA foam.
  • And remember!!! Don't forget to cut the 2 antennas of our ladybug.

  • We'll also need to paint the paper plate with the red acrylic paint and wait for it to dry.



  • When the paper plate has dried, we are ready to start shaping the ladybug.
  • Now, we can glue all the pieces together with the hot glue, as shown in the picture.
  • Remember to glue the 2 pompoms in the antennas of our "little friend"!

    • And presto! We have a beautiful ladybug!
    If you want to add more detail to the ladybug, you can use white acrylic paint and a fine-tipped paintbrush and paint some white stitches around the black foam as I did.


    Thanks for visiting my blog and until next time!!!
