Paper Bag Ladybug Craft

Supplies needed:

Paper bags
Black acrylic paint
Cardstock – red, black
Circle punches – 2”, 1.5”, 1”, ⅝”
Googly eyes, large
White marker
Glue stick
Scissors

Begin by painting the front of the paper bag black.

Make sure you don’t paint the flap shut. We know this one from experience. Let dry.

Adhere large googly eyes in place. Then draw a simple mouth under the eyes with the white marker

Cut two strips from the black cardstock. Curl an end using your fingers or a pencil.

Glue the strips in place to the top of the bag.

Now, cut a large circle from the red cardstock.

Cut the circle in half.

Glue the circle halves under the flap, with the middle part open for wings.

Punch a bunch of circles from the black cardstock using the different paper punches. You can also use scissors, of course, if you don’t have paper punches.
