How to make a ladybug costume?
Let's start by making the wings
- Print the model that is at the bottom of the page to draw the wings of the ladybug on the large piece of cardboard.
- Draw two large wings respecting the child's height then cut out.
- Spreading paint with the brush or roller throughout the visible surface of the wings and let dry.
- Then the black dots symbolize the marks of the ladybug. Using a glass draw about 12 circles on the remaining card then paint them black or use a black sheet of paper as we show in the video tutorial.
- Glue black circles on the wings. If you make two separate wings you must stick to each other before moving on to the next step.
- Make 2 small holes with scissor high up on the wings to be tied together with black satin ribbon. This ribbon will help to keep the wings on the back and tying it around the neck or crossing the chest. The wings of the ladybug is ready!
Now make the ladybug antennas
- Take the 2 black pipe cleaners and fix the red balls at one end.
- Then wrap the other end on the headband.
- Add fun makeup tip: a touch of red blush and freckles on the face to complete the disguise! Now fly away.
