How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
To create a lovely ladybug you will need:
- a small white cardboard plate
- a polystyrene disc Ø 8 cm
- acrylic paint (black and red)
- a paintbrush
- a black chenille stem
- 2 wiggle eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- round stickers
- metallic markers
- adhesive dots
- a sturdy cardboard base
- a pair of scissors
- a skewer
Step 1
Turn the cardboard plate over and then paint it with red acrylic paint.
Paint the polystyrene disc and then allow everything to dry for about an hour.
Tip: Insert the polystyrene disc onto a wooden stick so you can paint it without getting your fingers dirty!
Step 2
Cut one side of the plate to about 2.5 cm in height.
Step 3
Glue the polystyrene disc flush with the flat part of the plate using some adhesive dots.
Step 4
Create the ladybug's head by decorating the disc with 2 large googly eyes and drawing a mouth and small cheeks.
Tip: We used metallic markers because they allow you to draw on a black surface!
Step 5
Decorate the plate with round black stickers to recreate the spots on the back of the ladybug.
Step 6
Cut a chenille in half and roll the ends of the two pieces to create the antennae of the ladybug.
Insert the two antennae into the polystyrene disc.
Step 7
Practical: to display the children's ladybugs vertically, you can use our cardboard supports to attach to the back of the creations!
