Paper bee step by step
We Make a Body
The bee’s body is a paper cone. To make it, draw a circle with a compass, divide it into 4 parts and take one of the parts. As an economical option, so as not to cut out a whole circle, if only one child makes the craft, you can simply circle any corner of colored paper with a compass.
Wrap the segment and make a cone out of it, fix the edge with glue.
Complementing the Bee Details
Prepare the following paper parts for the bee. Although there are many, they are very simple.
- From blue or white paper, cut out semicircular or even round wings;
- You will also need the head of a bee, which must be cut out of yellow cardboard. This is a simple circle of suitable size for a cone;
- The bee is defined by black stripes on its body, cut out two semicircular stripes. It is possible and straight, but they may not fit well to the cone;
- The bee also needs antennae, so cut off two thin black strips;
- Make eyes out of white paper. Draw the pupils with a felt-tip pen;
- Optional details – paws and bangs.
Final Stage of Creating a Paper Bee
Glue two black stripes to the cone, a head with pre-glued eyes, bangs, mustaches and a painted smile. Finish the craft with wings glued to the back of the cone body and paws.
