-
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.
-
For 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 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. -
Glue the eyes onto the pipe cleaners and let them dry, about 10 minutes.
Suggested messages:
I don't mean to bug you, but will you be my valentine?
Just buzzing by to say happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine, you make my heart fly!
