If ladybugs really do bring luck, this adorable critter is sure to double your family's dose.
- Materials
-
- Scissors
- 2 (12- by 18-inch) sheets of red stiff felt (we used E-Z Felt brand)
- 9- by 12-inch sheet of black stiff felt
- Hole punch
- 2 yards of 1/2-inch-wide black ribbon
- Tacky glue
- 2 black pipe cleaners
- 2 (1-inch) red pom-poms
- Large marker
- Black electrical tape
- Brimmed black hat
- Instructions
-
-
With scissors, cut 2 half-circle wings from the red felt. Cut four 3-inch circles from the black felt. (Download the spot template and wing template).
-
Overlap the wings as shown and punch 2 holes through both pieces of felt. Thread the ribbon through the holes.
-
Glue the circles onto the wings and let them dry (about 10 minutes). -
For each antenna, wrap one end of a pipe cleaner tightly around a pom-pom. Twist the pipe cleaner around the marker to form a loose spiral, then tape the ends of the pipe cleaners behind the brim of the hat.
-
To tie on the wings, simply bring the ribbon over each shoulder, cross the pieces over your child's chest, then tie the ends together in the back.
