Supplies:
Wooden Egg Shape – (mine had a flat top and bottom)
Large Wooden Bead
Chicken Wire – Hobby Lobby
Wire
Twine
Black and Yellow Paint
First, I painted the large wooden bead and the egg shape with the black paint.
Second, I painted yellow stripes around the egg shape
Third, I chalked an outline on the bead where I wanted to paint it with the yellow paint.
Fourth, I used the yellow paint to fill in that outline.
Fifth, I used hot glue to secure the bead to one end of the egg shape. This created the bees’ head and body.
Sixth, I cut two small pieces of wire and swirled them creating the antennae. I then secured them into the head of the bee.
Seventh, I added two small dots as eyes with the black paint. As you can see my picture pixelated, those red lines are not really there.
Eighth, I used a small piece of the chicken wire to create the wing, securing them with hot glue.
Finally, I cut a length of the twine and tied it into a bow. I then secured it on top of the chicken wire with the hot glue.
