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!

The body is not printing correctly. I am also getting the circle with the black line down the center.(none of the words are printing) The wings came out great though.
Jennifer says
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!

Just wanted to let you know that I made 100 of these ladybug valentine’s last week for three of my kids classes. They were a huge success and even the teachers asked for one. Thanks for the unique idea.

Eliot received one of these on Friday at his party and I thought “I know where they got that idea!”
Cheers, Cindy!

Thank You! My little girl is going to love this! I made it yellow though because she is always saying how she wished lady bugs were yellow because she loves lady bugs and yellow.

I used red card-stock. I purchased it from the copy shop for 10 cents per sheet.
