The craft
Bumble Bee Bracelet
Supplies needed for each bumble bee:
1. ½ toilet paper roll or 4 inch wide section of a paper towel roll
2. One 6 inch x 2 inch piece of yellow construction paper
3. Two – 6 inch x ½ inch piece of black construction paper
4. Two – 1 ½ inch x ½ inch piece of black construction paper
5. One – 2 inch x 4 inch piece of wax paper or parchment paper
6. Glue stick or glue
7. Tape
8. Scissors
Glue the yellow piece of construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Then glue the two black (6in x ½ in) strips on top of the yellow paper to make the bee’s stripes. Cut the wax paper piece into the wings and tape or glue on top of the bee. Use the small pieces of black paper to make the antennae. When your bee is dry, you can cut the bottom to make a bracelet.
Optionally you can paint the toilet paper roll yellow, when dry, paint the black strips. You will still need black construction paper or pipe cleaners for the antennae.
