The head and the middle part are round, the tail is oblong. Cut out a blank that looks like a snowman. But it is better to make it bright, for example, in this case green.

3. Next, prepare the wings - they will be oblong and double. Cut out pieces of lettuce and orange paper in pairs. Also cut out the eyes from white paper. To make the dragonfly funny and slanted, make the eyes of different sizes.

4. Glue the wings on the sides, spreading them apart. Glue eyes on the upper circle-head, draw pupils with a black pen. Also draw a mouth - a thin black strip.

5. Now, when the figure will already be ready, and even the face to look at us and smile, color the resulting craft. Use different shiny pens or glitter, put a net (webbing) on the wings, stripes on the tail, make the torso furry.
