We are going to try rock painting today and what else can we paint if not our favourite – Lady Bug!

Lady bugs

Choose some nice, round rocks

Paint it red

Once dry, paint the face black. Draw line and dots.

Let dry. Paint the eyes. Once dry, spray a coat of varnish and your rock ladybug is done
Can be used as paper weight
People told me ladybug is for good luck and I’ve been believing in that ever since. I can never have enough of ladybugs in my art or crafts. Thanx to Handprint and Footprint Arts, let’s do a footprint ladybug today

Footprint Ladybug

Paint your heel black

Paint the remaining 3/4 of your foot red

Nice

Stamp your painted foot onto a piece of paper

Paint your fingertip black. Dot the bug.

Paint your fingertip white and dot two eyes.

Use a thin paint brush and paint the eyes and legs and you are done
Remember the Foam Insects Bookmark we did some time ago? We were redecorating our studio when I thought of doing it on a bigger scale this time.

Foam LadyBug Wall Decor

Draw a circle on a red piece of craft foam.

Draw the outline of the ladybug and cut.

Paste the wings onto the body.

Use a coin and draw the outline. Cut out ten as the spot for the wings. Use decorative stones for the eyes and you are done. Put some double layered tape at the back and paste it onto your wall
