There are quite a few steps involved and lots of different materials, so here are some instructions.
Supplies you will need:
Directions:
1.
While the watercolors are still very wet, sprinkle salt on your paper to get the fun textured background.
We have tried this technique with regular watercolors that you add water to, but it didnt work well.
Liquid watercolors is the way to go!
After the watercolors are completely dry, rub off the salt and you are left with the fun texture.
Let it dry completely then cut it out and glue it to your blue background.
Let it dry completely and then cut it in half to make two wings.
Glue wings and eyes
Glue your wings onto your ladybug body.
Glue your large googly eyes onto your ladybug.
Make antennae
Finish your ladybug by cutting your black pipecleaner in half.
Bend it in half and then bend the two ends to make antennae.
Glue the antennae under the head of your ladybug.
Once its completed, its so stunning and youll definitely want to put them on display.
