A while back, I partnered up with my friend Carolina from 30 Minute Crafts to show you how to make this great wreath in less than 10 minutes.

This would be great for a kid’s room or your front door this summer. You can change up the colors on the felt and make lots of bugs for wall art in a fun room.

Supplies Needed To Make Lady Bug Wreath

Wreath form by Styrofoam
Paper plate
Hot glue
Felt fabric in black and red
Scissors
Large googly eyes
White pipe cleaners

Step 1: Glue Paper Plate To Wreath Form

To start, glue a paper plate in the center of the wreath form. This will add stability to the wreath and will make it easier to glue the felt on.

Step 2: Cut Felt

Next, cut two half-circles in red felt. These pieces will each be a wing of the lady bug. Then, cut a rectangular piece of black felt for the head. You will use the remainder of the black felt to place under the wings for separation and for the lady bug dots.

Step 3: Hot Glue Felt To Wreath Form

Lay your felt pieces out on the wreath form before you begin hot-gluing. Once you are happy with the arrangement, begin hot-gluing each piece to the wreath form.

Step 4: Secure Felt Onto The Back Of The Wreath Form

After all of the pieces are glued down, flip the wreath form over and glue down on the back for extra stability. Then, cut away the excess with scissors.

Step 5: Cut & Glue Spots To Lady Bug

Next, cut a few circles out of the black felt for the lady bug spots, and glue them down in whatever pattern you choose.

Step 6: Create & Glue Antennas To Lady Bug

Next, wrap the pipe cleaners around a pencil or a narrow dowel rod to make the antennas curly. Then glue them to the back of the wreath so they poke up at the top.

You can make a few different types of bugs and hang them on the wall, or add to a fun frame wall if your little girl loves ladybugs!
