Lady Bugs are the perfect Love Bugs for Valentine’s Day! Here's a cute one that's easy for you and your kids to create.
What You'll Need:
What You'll Need:
- Clear glass or plastic ornament
- Red acrylic paint
- Black paint marker
- Googly eyes
- Black twist tie or black chenille stem
- Black card stock
- Hot glue
Directions:
Begin by carefully removing the lid off the ornament. Pour about 2 tablespoons of red acrylic paint into the ornament, slowly turning (kids turn!) until the inside is completely coated.
Prop ornament upside down in a paper cup to drain excess paint. Allow paint to set and dry at least two days.
Next, apply the ladybug spots with your black paint marker.
Using a pencil or screwdriver, wrap the twist ties to form a spiral and attach to top of ornament with hot glue.
Cut lashes from the black card stock, curl and glue in place. Add googly eyes and a cute little smile.
These make great gifts for teachers, grandparents and your favorite Valentines. Personalize the back with their name or attach a sweet note to a hanging ribbon on top!
