• Scissors

• Card

• 2 coins

• PVA glue

• Toothpick

• Marble (1 for each bug)

• Black pen

• Coloured tissue paper

• Glue stick

 

Time needed: Under 1 hour

 

1) For each bug, cut a 5-1/2- by 3/4-inch strip of card stock and two 1 3/4- by 7/8-inch card ovals.

2) To make an oval, lay 2 coins side by side on the card stock and trace around them, connecting the top and bottom.

3) Glue the strip into a loop, overlapping the ends by an inch. Pinch it or use a paper clip to hold it together while the glue dries. Next, use a toothpick to line one edge of the loop with glue, then set the loop on top of an oval.

4) When the glue dries, place a marble inside. Line the edge of the loop with glue and press the other oval on top.

5) Once all the glue is dry, use a marker to add a face and other features. Cut out a couple of 2-inch-long wings from tissue paper and use the glue stick to attach them to the top of your bug.
