Felt Craft: Creating a Bug on a Felt Lady Bug's Tongue

Video Transcript

"All right so we have got out lady bug and now he has got a nice curly little tongue here. And maybe he wants to go fishing with that tongue or he is getting a little hungry. So we are going to put another little but on the end of that tongue. You are going to want to grab a spare piece of your black felt and you are just going to start to cut a little circle because we are going to put that right on the end of that tongue. And it doesn't even have to be another bug, you can just call it a little tongue freckle if you want to. And we are going to separate that. Sit that aside. Now you?re going to want to take the underside of your tongue. This tongue is curling up this way so if I put it on the end it's going to weight that end down, you?re not going to be able to see it. So I have got them curled under and flipped over. And again you want to use a fabric glue, an epoxy glue. I have been using my glue gun. And we are going to place a small dab on the very underside of that tongue. And a little teeny piece of felt here and we are just going to stick that right on there. And hold that down, its going to take a minute to glue. And you just start pulling all those little excess hairs because felt has a tendency to shed. Wrap his tongue back under there and now he has got a fly, or a tongue freckle on the end of his tongue."
