How To Make An Adorably Cute Ladybug Headband Craft
1 – Download and print your free ladybug hat craft template.
2 – Either paint the template and cut it out or trace around it onto coloured cardstock and cut it out. We chose to use coloured cardstock so we didn’t have to wait for any paint to dry.
3 – Your ladybug craft needs 6 legs and 6 boots. Join them together making sure three boots point left and three boots face right.
4 – Stick the black spots onto your ladybug’s wings.
5 – Glue your antennae and wiggle eyes onto the ladybird’s head and then draw on a big smile. (Posca Paint Pens work really well on the black cardstock.)
6 – Attach your insect’s legs to the front of the headband, three on either side of the head.
7 – Glue the ladybug’s spotty wings above the legs on the front of the headband.
8 – Staple the back of the headband onto the front of the headband to make a wearable loop.
Now you’re ready to show off your adorable ladybug hat! Isn’t it cute and fun?
