Instructions:
To make this cute bumble bee, start off by cutting a two-cup section from an egg carton, leaving the cups attached. Bend the egg carton cups towards each other so they are rim-to-rim. This will make an oval shape. Glue the the rims together and let dry the glue dry.
Trim off any rough edges around the section you glued so you have a nice oval which will now serve as your bumble bee's body. Paint the egg carton oval yellow and black so it resembles a bee. Let the paint dry.
Use the supplies I have listed above or whatever materials you have on hand to add the details to your bumble bee. I made wings using craft foam, antenna and a stinger using chenille stems, tiny pom-poms at the tips of the antenna, and wiggle eyes. I also painted on a smiling mouth. Use your own imagination to make your bumble bee unique.
Let and glue or paint dry and display your bumble bee with pride.
