Felt Craft: Cutting Out Legs for a Felt Lady Bug

Video Transcript

"We're going to start giving our ladybugs some legs so that he can crawl. You're going to flip him over on his backside. Don't worry about the wings, they won't get crushed. And you're going to, again, take a piece of spare black felt that you have, you want to have a nice long edge. You're going to start at one end, and cut him a nice long leg, about the thickness of a pencil. Cut all the way down. Then let's cut that piece in half, so that's going to give us two legs. So we've got two left legs here, now we're going to need two right legs so we're going to repeat the process. Cut a nice long strip, same width, and then we're going to fold that in half and give it a cut. Now we're going to have two right legs as well. Again, taking your ladybug, flipping him over on his back. You can put more legs on, you can have three legs on each side if you want. We're just going to use two. You want to get those ready to be glued. We're going to use our base where we're going to figure out where to glue them. From the top and the bottom of the wing. We're going to put them on the insides of the body between those wings."
