How to make easy ladybug paper crafts

What you need:

Construction paper comes in many different colors
drag
glue
black marker
Wiggle eye patch or bleary eyes

Step-by-step instructions

Prepare all the supplies.

Cut a small rectangle from red paper. Size doesn’t matter as long as it is rectangular. Draw black dots with a marker.

Begin folding the paper, creating mountain and valley folds along the longer side of the rectangle.

After folding all the way to the other side, fold the folded rectangle in half.

Glue or staple the ends together.

Optionally make two ladybugs.

Now cut a small paper circle from black paper for the head. Apply a small amount of glue to the circle and stick the folded paper on it to make the body of the ladybug.

Add a pair of googly eye stickers or googly eyes.

Cut two small strips (two for each ladybug) from black paper to make antennae. Roll it up and stick it on the ladybug’s head.
