How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Ladybug

1. Cut a rectangular piece of black cardstock to fit around the paper roll. Overlap the edges of the paper slightly and glue or tape along the seam.

2. Glue the googly eyes to the top of the paper roll.

3. Draw a smile on with a black marker. You won’t be able to see the smile very well so you can skip this step or use a white crayon or chalk marker.

4. Cut the pipe cleaner into small pieces. Make a v shape out of black pipe cleaner.

5. Glue the pom poms on. Glue to the inside front of the paper roll. 

6. Cut out the wings by tracing around red cardstock with our circle wing template. Then cut the wing into two pieces. You can get the template at the bottom of the post.

7. Cut out 6 of the ladybug dots by tracing around black cardstock. Glue the dots onto the wings. Trim around the wing with scissors if desired.

8. Glue the wings to the back of the paper roll.

Now your toilet paper roll ladybug is done. We love how easy this craft is to make!
