| Fluffy Ladybug Pins Free Craft Project ~ Compliments of Craft At Home |
Material:
Pompoms
1 medium red
1 smaller black
5 teeny black
Tacky glue (hot glue for big kids)
Black Floral wire or heavy thread
Scissors
How to:
These are so much fun and make fabulous bulletin board pins and great pins to wear!
Begin by cutting one side of your red pompom flat. The ladybug has a flat tummy, so you'll need to trim away
one side.
Cut a "V" shape into the red pompom (this will be where the black and red meet at the neck of
the ladybug). Don't cut the "V" too large. To test, before you cut away too much, insert your
black pompom in the opening to measure for a nice fit.
At the very point of your "V" and near the top, glue a teeny black pompom. This helps to make
the edge around the neck a little smoother. Next, glue your black pompom in place (this is the face).
Glue 4 teeny pompoms over the body of the lady bug (randomly), referring to photo.
Glue 2 pieces of floral wire or heavy thread to centre of the face.
If you would like to use these as push pins for your bulletin board, glue a tack to the tummy area.
Another idea (kids love these) is to make a pin to wear. Simply glue a pin (available at craft shops) to tummy
area.
You can also decorate clay pots, kids rooms and of course make giant ones for your cat to play with.
