Instructions

Take purple, red and yellow construction paper. Turn the paper horizontally and cut a 2” strip down the length of the paper, cutting through all 3 papers at the same time.

Add google eyes, eye lashes and a cute smile to the middle of all the strips.

Let’s work on the butterfly first, cut two hearts out of pink construction paper. Use a black marker to decorate these heats and the body of the butterfly as desired.

Glue or tape the hearts to each side of the strip, creating the butterfly’s wings.

Punch two holes above the eyes for the antenna. Feed a pipe cleaner through the holes and curl up to form antenna. Secure at the back with some tape.

Loop the whole strip and secure with tape.

To finish the bee, use a black marker to create stripes. Also, cut two small pink hearts and decorate them with the black marker.

Attach the pink hearts to the back to form wings.

Punch two holes at the top for the antenna. Feed the pipe cleaner through these holes and bend upwards. Wind the pipe cleaner around a pen to create curly antenna.
