Instructions:
Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.
Paint the wooden ball head black. Use the photo above as a guideline for painting the body yellow and black.
Once the paint is dry, glue the wooden ball onto the bottom of the clay pot (figure 1). Paint a mouth and eyes on the wooden ball (figure 2) - you can use wiggle eyes if you like. Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer. Cut two pieces of pipe cleaner approximately 2 inches long. Glue the two pom-poms onto one end of each pipe cleaner. Glue these 'antenna' on top of the bee's head (figure 3).

Cut the wing shape below out of a small piece of window screen. Glue it to the back of your bee. Your bumble bee is now complete.
