Making a bee out of colored paper

In this lesson we will tell you how to make a bee from colored paper with your own hands. This craft will not take your kid a lot of time. But the most important thing when making crafts on the summer theme is a good mood and a great desire to create with your own hands.

To make a paper bee we need:

[INDENT]- yellow, white, blue and black double sided half board;
- stationery glue;
- a stapler with staples;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- black marker;
- simple pencil[/INDENT]

The stages of making a bee:

1. Take yellow double-sided half-cardboard. Measure 12 cm horizontally and 9 cm vertically. Cut it out with scissors along the marked lines.

2. carefully roll the piece into a tube and fasten the ends with glue or a stapler.

3. Since real bees are striped, our worker won't fall behind them either. So we cut 4 strips from black double-sided half-cardboard. All of them will be the same. They will be 13 cm long and 1 cm wide.

4. Take one strip. Put stationery glue on it. Glue it to the yellow tube. So do with each until our bee from colored paper will not become striped.

5. The bees have been working all day long. They fly from one flower to another. If it weren't for their wonderful wings, they wouldn't be able to do such a big job. So we should definitely make them and our beauty. To do this, cut out a rectangle 16 x 5 cm from blue double-sided half-cardboard.

6. Fold the cut rectangle in half.

7. On one of its parts draw a wing with a simple pencil.

8. Cut out.

9. Open it up. And what we see is a pair of beautiful wings for our bee.

10. Attach to the torso with a stapler.

11. Now the bee can fly and collect precious pollen.

12. Now we make the head. Cut out an oval from yellow double-sided half-cardboard for its base.

13. Paint the top with a black marker.

14. Let's make her eyes. To do this, cut out two small circles from a white double-sided sheet of paper or half-cardboard. Then draw black pupils with a marker and glue them on the yellow oval.

15. You should also make its antennae. Cut out two strips of black double-sided cardboard.

16. Glue them to the back of the head.

17. To make them look more natural, you should give them a little twist. A simple marker or a toothpick will do.

18. When the head of the bee is ready you can finally connect it to the body.

19. Cut out a small triangle from black paper and glue it just below the eyes. This will be the proboscis with which the bee can collect pollen from flowers.

20. When finished, you can paint the craft with gel pens, markers or felt-tip pens. And here, a cheerful bee from colored paper is ready!
