Felt Craft: Making a Felt Lady Bug Appear in Flight

Video Transcript

"Now that we have our beanie ladybug, we've got to make sure, again, all those holes are closed. All ladybugs have to look like they're taking flight. They do fly, so we want to grab the corners of your wings and you're going to roll your hands under and you're going to bring them around to where we have that fold. To the tookus of the ladybug. That's going to make him look like he's actually in flight or getting ready to fly. Again, you want to take you glue and you're going to take the underside, the corners of your wings, and we're going to make that wonderful V-shape, again, with our glue. Coming up to the point of the wing and roll your fingers under it so that the wing stands up and push down. Keep your hands under inside the wing so you create that pocket while you're holding the corner down and the glue. You don't want those wings to fall. Once that's there, and it's standing up on its own, we've got it good and dry. We're going to do the same thing, we're going to flip over our second wing. We're going to take our fabric glue or our glue gun and we're just going to drag it across and create a V. Again, roll under your fingers, bring your point down and hold it, holding your fingers under there so that you're creating those pockets. We want to make sure those wings stand up. Then you're going to release and turn around, and now we have a ladybug ready to take flight."
