Ladybug Or Ladybird Craft?

What do you call this insect? As a child growing up in the United kingdom we called the red insect with black dots a ladybird. However, when I moved to New Zealand, the ladybird became a ladybug.

Either way, enjoy this Ladybird craft or Ladybug craft whichever one you call it!

How to Make a Toilet Tube Ladybug Craft

Step 1:

To start making the ladybug

Take a tissue paper roll and roll it with a black craft paper.

Or take a black Cardstock paper (7-inch × 4 inch)

Roll it and glue both ends.

Step 2:

Then take a red craft paper or red cardstock paper (7-inch × 2 inches).

Wrap it over the previous black roll along the bottom of the black roll.

Glue it there and allow the glue to dry.

Step 3:

To finish off the ladybug’s body

Cut out the black circles from the template or punch out 8/10 black circular pieces using a paper punch.

Then glue them on the red part of the roll.

Step 4:

Now take the two googly eyes for the ladybug and glue them on the top part of the roll.

Step 5:

For the antennas of the ladybug

Then cut out the two black stripes from the template and glue them on the top of the two eyes.
