LADY-BUG BUDS

This project is so much fun.  We’re making lady-bug buds on a bush.  That’s kind of a tongue twister, but you get the idea.  Although I used a variety of colors for the lady bugs in my sample, I think using just one color for all the lady bugs would make an outstanding piece.  The body of the lady bug is a thumb or fingerprint.  Make the head with a Q-tip, and the spots and eyes with a toothpick.  You’ll find all the directions for “Thumbprint Lady Buds” in the 4^th Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
