Easy Peasy Beetles
by Andreja Vu?ajnk
These adorable little crawlers are incredibly simple to create! Each one becomes a miniature masterpiece with wings that you decorate yourself. Swirls, stripes, dots, or even goofy faces . . . when you’re the beetle designer, anything is possible.
Supplies for Paper Beetles
A free circle template in several sizes is available here. This project is taken from the book and reproduced with the publisher’s permission. Enter $0 at checkout:
Making 3d Paper Beetles
1. Use a marker to add stripes, swirls, dots, or another design to the colored paper.
2. With the 2-inch (5-cm) template, trace and cut two circles from the patterned paper. Next, use the same template to cut two circles from the black paper. These pieces will form the beetle’s body.
3. Bend each paper circle in half.
4. Position one black circle over the other and glue them together so they overlap halfway.
5. Spread glue over one folded colored circle, then attach it to the body. Do the same with the second circle.
6. Place two googly eye stickers onto the head.
Get Creative: Glue a paper loop beneath the beetle to turn it into a stylish ring!
