"Our next step we want to do is we want to take our red felt and we're going to make the wings of the ladybug. Get a good sized piece of felt. Again, just fold that in half. Bring out your pen or pencil. Your going to want to pull your body of your bug alongside. You want your wings to be almost the same size as the whole body or even a little bit bigger. Start at the top of your felt, make sure your full left, because we're not going to use that fold for the body like we did for the wings. You want to draw a tear shape on that felt. Again, make it as long, or almost as long as the body. You can make it a little longer if you want. Once you have that tear shape drawn on there, you're going to cut out those wings. Your going to have two wings, one for each side of the bug body. That's where those round circle in the black that we cut out are going to come into play. Because all ladybugs need spots. Separate that, pull them apart. Now we have our ladybug wings ready to be assembled on our ladybug."
