Felt Craft: Creating the Body of a Felt Lady Bug

Video Transcript

"Alright, now we're ready to start with the body of our ladybug that we have here. So you're going to take your piece of black felt, and you're just going to want to fold it in half; meet your ends up. And we're going to take your pen or pencil, and you're going to want to draw a circle about the size of your palm for the body of your bean bag, for your ladybug. And you want to press down hard enough where you can see that, because sometimes it's hard to see your pen-writing on the black felt. Once you've made that circle at the top, you're going to make a smaller half-circle, and that is going to be the head of your ladybug. Now off to the side here, you want to draw two nickel-size circles as well. We're going to be using those later for the spots on our ladybug. So once you have those drawn, you can start to cut those out. And it's going to create both a top and a bottom for the body of your ladybug. Make sure not to cut his head off. Want to get that half-circle-size up there. And we open it up, it's going to be connected. Now you have the body of your ladybug. "
