Paper Ladybug Craft

This is another lovely and simple paper ladybug craft, we made this paper ladybug craft a while ago but since making paper crafts is so much fun it was time to make another, different one.

After all, this cute little bug deserves more attention, right?

Ready to make these cute little creatures? Let’s make them together.

Ladybug Paper Craft

What you need

red and black paper (and a little white)
drag
glue
black marker

Cut a circle from red paper (it’s best to use cardboard as a base). Cut strips of red paper.

Take one strip of paper and glue it to the base as shown. Glue the next strip at a 90° angle to the first strip.

Continue with the next two, placing them between the first two. Depending on the size of the ladybug you are making, you will need, or rather can, add more strips of paper to make the ladybug’s body fuller.

Cut dots (we used the glue cap as a template) out of black paper. Also cut a semicircle for the head and two antennae. Cut two small ovals out of white paper and draw eyes with a black marker.

Glue the dots and ends together.
