Felt Craft: Attaching Legs to a Felt Lady Bug

Video Transcript

"We've got out ladybug legs all cut out ready to go. We're on our backside of our ladybug and, again, we can see our wings here, so we want to position the legs so that they're in between the wings. We going to take our glue gun, or your fabric glue, epoxy. Take your first leg, place a small dab of glue on the end of your leg and we're going to apply it to the base of the body where the edge is, just below the top of the wing. You're going to be able to see just a little bit of red poking out here from his wing. Just hold that down. Give that a good couple of seconds to dry. Then we're going to take his bottom leg and, again, apply a dab of glue and we're going to use the bottom wing as our guide. We're going to press down against the seam of the body. And, again, we're just going to see a little bit of that red coming through. So that we can use that as a spacer so that they're nice and even. We're going to repeat the same process on the right side of the body. Lining it up and then fixing it to the lining of the body. And, our last leg, applying our last dab of glue, and we're going to line it up directly across from the other leg on the other side and hold that still. Give them all a good press to make sure they're good and dry. Then flip your ladybug back over, now he's got legs."
