How to make a clay pot ladybug craft for kids!

STEP ONE

Basecoat both clay pots with red acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP TWO

Cut a larger and smaller half circle from black craft foam. Cut out 6-8 small circles from black craft foam for each Ladybug’s spots.

STEP THREE

Cut a 12” chenille stem in half and fold both sections in half.

Attach two wiggle eyes to each Ladybug's head with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you must wait for it to dry.

Then glue the Mama and Baby Ladybug heads to the base of the clay pots.

Attach the spots with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Add polka dot cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry.

Attach a black tinsel pom pom to the cut end of both sets of antennae with a glue gun and glue sticks.
