Button Bumblebee is Buzzing over with another fabulous craft! You can create this cute little creature in no time. It makes a perfect package topper for all your spring time gift giving needs. Not only could you use it as a package topper, it could make a magnet, place it on a close pin to hold papers or even as an accent on a headband.
For the Button Bumblebee will need:
- Buttons – Sunshine Yellow and Black Beauty
- Black Ribbon
- Skinny bendable wire (floral wire would work)
- Hot Glue
Directions to make the Button Bumblebee:
1. Use the yellow and black buttons to design a striped bumble bee, using a large black button for the head.
2. Use a hot glue gun to adhere them to any surface I used felt) then add a few smaller buttons to the stripes for the stacked effect.
3. Cut a piece of bendable wire into a 5 inch piece. Bend it in the middle and them spiral each side around a pencil to get the antennas.
4. Adhere the antennas with hot glue above the large black button head.
5. Cut two pieces of black gross grain ribbon into 5 inch pieces and glue them to the body to make wings.
I think the Button Bumblebee makes a very cute decoration for a plant or a gift tag for some yummy local honey.
Happy Buzzing Around and Creating Button Fun!
