Bumble BeeLET'S MAKE SWAPS!

Bumble Bee

Materials Needed:

  • 8-inch piece of black paper wire
  • 4-inch piece of white pipe cleaner
  • 5 small (4x7mm) yellow pony beads
  • 5 small (4x7mm) black pony beads
  • Small safety pin

Directions:

Fold black paper wire in half. Feed through safety pin. String black and yellow pony beads onto paper wire like a beady buddy (bead pattern: 2 black, 3 yellow, 3 black, 2 yellow). Twist ends of wire together and trim to form a “stinger”. Insert pipe cleaner through the yellow row of beads to form a wing on either side. Bend pipe cleaner into a circle and hook the ends through the paper wire on the side and then over itself to secure. Push a thick pencil through the center of each wing to help round it out.
