How to make paper bee crafts

What you need

Step by step instructions

Start by making the base for your craft. You can make it as big as a large sheet of letter/A4 paper or much smaller (we like a quarter sheet of paper best).

Cut a strip of yellow paper.

This will be the body of the bee. You can draw black stripes with a marker or glue black paper stripes (now or later).

Apply glue to one end and form a paper roll.

Glue the paper roll to the base.

If you haven’t already, tape strips of black paper onto the bee’s body.

This is your current body shape.

Make a smaller roll of yellow paper and glue it on top of the body.

This will form the head of the bee.

Add bulging eyes or draw eyes.

Cut a pair of wings from white or light blue paper and glue them to the bee’s body.

Cut a long triangle (stinger) out of black paper and glue it inside the bee’s body.

Finally, cut two antennae and glue them onto the top or top of the bee’s head.
