we’d love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on our Facebook fan page ! Note: Use white craft glue for all instructions except where hot glue is indicated.
What you do
Use scissors to separate egg carton cups, trim the edges. Paint egg cartons in desired colors and let dry. Glue wiggle eyes on to black pom pom and let dry. Glue black pom pom on to side of egg cup with white craft glue and let dry completely, making sure eyes are facing out and are where you want them. Cut the 2″ piece of skinny black chenille in half. Bend the end of each one to form the antannae. Use hot glue to attach antannaes to pom pom head. Use the handle end of a paintbrush to add black paint dots to the ladybug’s back. Dip handle into paint and pick up a generous amount, then use a drawing motion to add the dot to the ladybug’s back. Let dry completely.
