Swirly Paper Ladybug Craft

Since we love ladybugs so much, we’re excited to share this swirly ladybug paper craft tutorial with you. It’s got a little twist.

While you can make this bug craft without a template, we have created templates (for both single crafts and classroom crafts) that you can get from our members area.

We found it really interesting that there are so many ways to make a ladybug from the same material – isn’t that cool?

Today we used paper again to make a ladybug and you can see how different this ladybug is from the others we have made so far!

If you love ladybugs like we do (and we really do), grab your tools and let’s get started.

Use scissors to cut out black circles.

Cut 6 thin rectangles from black cardboard.

Draw the ladybug head on the black cardboard and the opening underneath.

Draw two antennae on black cardboard with circles on top.

Use scissors to cut off the beard.

On the red paper, draw a small smiling mouth.

Use scissors to cut out the small mouth.

Apply some glue to the leaf and glue one end of the red stripe.

Now make a circle with red stripes, then seal it with glue.

Make another circle with red stripes and seal it with glue.

Make a third circle with red stripes, seal with glue and cut off the excess paper.

Start adding black dots. Add three dots to the first red circle.

Fold the marked area (between the head and the seam) and glue the head back.

Use glue to add two more antennae to the head.

Smile

Glue self-adhesive googly eyes to the head.
