I bought a kid's craft kit at Michaels to make these cutie love bugs while my 5-year old friend Kayleigh visited a couple weeks ago - but how easy would this be to recreate with your own supplies? Start with the body - it's a 1.75" piece of cardboard tube (theirs is made of hard cardboard but a toilet paper or paper towel tube will totally work). Cut a rectangle of felt the size of the tube, wrap it around and glue in place. Glue a 2" black pompom on one end for the head.
For the bumblebee: glue thin strips of black felt for the stripes, 2 pink felt hearts for the wings, dark pink felt circle and a mouth for the face, googly eyes, and 2 pieces of black pipe cleaner antenna topped with 2 small black pompoms.
For the ladybug: glue a bunch of small black pompoms to the body, 2 pieces of black pipe cleaner for the antenna topped with 2 small red foam hearts, a felt mouth and googly eyes.
Aren't these cute?
