Valentines Day Love Bug Craft

Valentines Day Love Bug Craft

CRAFT MATERIALS:
	Hole punch
	Craft foam in black, white, and one other color (for the wings)
	Scissors
	Tacky glue
	Pipe cleaners (3 per bug)
	Rolls of Smarties candies
	Permanent marker
Time needed: About 1 Hour

1. To make eyes, punch 2 circles from the black craft foam. Cut 2 circles from the white craft foam that are a little larger than the black ones. Then glue the pieces together. Let these dry while you assemble the rest of the bug.
2. For the legs, tightly twist 3 pipe cleaners around one end of a roll of Smarties. Bend them at the knees and make a loop for each foot.
3. 3 Make the wings by cutting a double heart shape that's about 5 inches across. Punch a hole in the center, then use scissors to make 4 snips around the edge of the hole. Add a message to the back of the wings with a permanent marker before slipping them onto the Smarties.
4. Glue the eyes onto the pipe cleaners and let them dry, about 10 minutes.
