Antannae Headband

Make this bug antannae craft

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Instructions for making a headband that looks like antannae.

Materials Needed:

  • Construction Paper
  • Crayons, Markers, or Paint
  • 2 Pipecleaners
  • 2 Pom-poms
  • Glue
  • Stapler or Tape

Instructions:
Using the construction paper, cut out a strip of paper about 2 inches thick and long enough to wrap around your fore head (make sure you make it an inch or two longer so you can staple the ends together.) Use crayons, markers, and/or paint to make your headband colorful.

Glue the pom-poms to one end of each pipecleaner. Put the other end of each pipecleaner up against the center of the strip of paper, about 4-6 inches apart. Staple or tape them in place.

Once the antannae are attached, staple or tape the ends of the strip together to snuggly fit around your fore head.

A few other options: Before attaching the pipecleaner to the headband, wrap them tightly around a pen or pencil to give them a fun, spiral shape. You can also decorate the headband itself with the pom-poms!
