DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Bumblebee Bookmark Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

Kaitlyn has been on a bit of a bumblebee kick lately.  This craft was completely her idea.  She scrounged around in the crafting cupboard and came out with the supplies to make this cute little bookmark.  I asked her if she would share it with our viewers and here is is!

Materials:

• Yellow paint
• Black marker
• Yellow pompom
• 2 beads or wiggly eyes
• Pipe cleaner (recommended color: black),
• Popsicle stick
• Hot glue gun (Grown-up help required),
• Scissors
• Paint brush 

Instructions:

• ADULT: plug in the hot glue gun so that it can warm up.
• Paint the Popsicle stick yellow and wait for the paint to dry.
• With a black marker, color black lines over the Popsicle stick after paint is dry.
• Cut 1 pipe cleaner in half and curl each half to make fancy antennas.
• Use the hot glue gun (adult should probably glue the pieces together) to glue the curled pipe cleaners to the back of the pom-pom.
• Glue the eyes (beads/wiggly eyes) to the front of the pom-pom with the help of a grown up.
• Glue the head to the Popsicle stick with the help of a grown up.
• Wait for it to dry.
