 Hole punch
Craft foam in black, white, and one other color (for the wings)
Scissors
Tacky glue
Pipe cleaners (3 per bug)
Rolls of Smarties candies
Permanent marker
Seasons: Valentine's day
Materials: craft foam
Instructions:
1.To make eyes, punch 2 circles from the black craft foam. Cut 2 circles from the white craft foam that are a little larger than the black ones. Or use our template. Then glue the pieces together. Let these dry while you assemble the rest of the bug.
2.Step 2_lovebugFor the legs, tightly twist 3 pipe cleaners around one end of a roll of Smarties. Bend them at the knees and make a loop for each foot.
3.Step 3_lovebug3 Make the wings by cutting a double heart shape that's about 5 inches across. Punch a hole in the center, then use scissors to make 4 snips around the edge of the hole. Add a message to the back of the wings with a permanent marker before slipping them onto the Smarties.
4.Glue the eyes onto the pipe cleaners and let them dry, about 10 minutes.
