Ladybug Valentine

Bella and I worked on her Valentines yesterday. She will be handing out these ladybug valentines.

We used red and white card-stock along with brads(metal paper fasteners), 4 1/2 " square of black tissue paper, Tootsie Pops and wiggly eyes. Yes, black brads would have been easier, but I couldn't find them anywhere. So we colored ours with a sharpie marker and it worked perfect!

If you want to make some ladybug valentines, here is the download for the body and wings.

Ladybug Valentine - Body

Ladybug Valentines - Wings

We placed a little glue stick around the bottom of the wrapper and wrapped the black tissue paper around the sucker.  Next we attached the wings to the body with the brads, then hot glued the ladybug to the sucker.

Finished!

    Cute idea, but you didn’t say how you attached the Tootisie Pop, it looked like hot glue???? Dianne

    Yes, hot glue works great to attach the Tootsie Pop to the ladybug.

    Too cute! At my daughter’s school each child has a symbol that they use to represent themselves. My daughter’s symbol is a ladybug! What a perfect valentine for her to give her friends!

    These are adorable and I can’t wait to make them for both of my girls. The download for the wings looks black and white, but yours is red/black. I am fairly new to the crafty thing, am I missing something?

    By the way, thanks for all you do, I read your blog daily!

    Help! For some reason I am getting a black line right down the middle of each of the body circles and it’s cutting into the print. This line does not appear on the pdf image, only when I print. Any advice? Thanks!
