Instructions
  1. 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).

  2. Overlap the wings as shown and punch 2 holes through both pieces of felt. Thread the ribbon through the holes.

  3. Lovely Ladybug - Step 3 Glue the circles onto the wings and let them dry (about 10 minutes).

  4. 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.

  5. Lovely Ladybug - Step 5 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.
