SUPPLIES FROM THE BAG

This is such a simple paper craft, and every single one of the items comes from the master list of basic craft supplies that we use for every single creative project on this site. It’s like having a capsule wardrobe that you can use in all kinds of combinations to create stunning outfits. But here we are making stunning crafts instead…and with so little effort.

Step 1: Prep the Paper for Your Flower

  • Fold a piece of construction paper on half long-wise, slightly off center.
  • Make snips all along the fold, each about 1/4″ wide. Do not snip through the paper but leave about an inch on the bottom of the paper uncut.

Step 3: Make Some Ladybugs

  • Place your metal brads on the paper plate and squeeze out a bit of paint.
  • If your metal brad is not red, use the paint to paint it red. Then let it dry.
  • Once the red paint is dry, use the tip of a pencil to add the black details to the metal brad ladybug.
