Directions for this Ladybug Paper Bowl Craft

1. Start by painting the bottom of your paper bowl with your red acrylic paint. Set it aside to dry completely.

3. When your paint is finished drying, draw a line down the middle of your bowl to separate the ladybug wings. Glue your black spots onto your ladybug wings and around your paper bowl. Poke two small holes in the bowl (where you want to put your antennae) and thread your black pipe cleaner in one hole and out the other. Bend them together and bend the ends to make antennae.
