Craft Foam Valentine Love Bug Craft Supplies:

* Large Craft Foam Hearts {one per craft}
* Smaller Craft Foam Hearts {two per craft}
* Pipe Cleaners {one per craft}
* Stapler
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Extra Large Wiggle Eyes
optional – embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* You will need ONE large craft foam heart and two smaller craft foam hearts per love bug.
* First simply staple your smaller craft heart “wings” to the side of the larger craft heart. This will be your love bug’s body.
* Next grab your pipe cleaner {one per craft} and fold it in half. Staple it to your craft foam shape to make antennas.
* Now go ahead and grab your markers. Draw on lines to give the “body” of the love bug for definition.
* To finish off your Craft Foam Heart Love Bug, glue on the wiggle eyes and other embellishments you see fit.
* Remember to encourage your child to really add their own crafty spin along the way!!!
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!

Wait stop – we don’t want you to fly away just yet!
