We saw our first ladybug of the season yesterday and that inspired this fun upcycle sculpture!
Start with:
- Cardboard Piece (an egg carton would work great, too)
- Cardstock Bits
- Shredded Green Paper Grass
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Glue
- Single Hole Paper Punch
Create it!
Step 1: Paint the cardboard piece or egg carton and allow to dry.
Step 2: Cut circles from red cardstock.
Step 3: Glue a black line down the middle (trim if needed) and spots.
Step 4: Add a head, we used a 1 inch. paper punch but a freehand circle would be just fine!
Step 5: Cut strips of green cardstock and fold accordion style back and forth.
Step 6: Attach the strips to the bottom of each ladybug.
Step 7: Glue the strips to the top points of the sculpture.
Step 8: Add the shredded paper grass.
This upcycled project adds a bit of Spring whimsy to any room!
