How to make the Terra Pot Love Bugs
1. Gather all supplies. Remove the paper tag from the clay pots. Base coat one clay pot in each color, red, hot pink and light pink. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
2. Cut the chenille stem into four-inch sections, bend in half and then attach a large pom pom to each end with a glue gun and glue sticks.
3. Add a face to the love bug with wiggle eyes, a small pom pom nose and then draw on a smile. Accent mouth with cheeks created by dipping a new pencil eraser in the paint.
4. Create wings by cutting a triangle from each circular doily with scissors. Gather the opposite end and attach to back of love bug with the glue gun.
5. Attach a heart shaped rhinestone to each love bug with the glue gun. Accent the base of each love bug with contrasting polka dots created by dipping a new pencil eraser in the paint.
This is a fun activity to keep the kiddos busy with counting and motor skills. Create these cute love bugs in just about 30 minutes!
