Materials

  • 5 toilet paper rolls (10 cm each)
  • Colored craft paper or patterned scrapbook paper (A4 sheets, assorted designs)
  • Acrylic paint (optional, 100 ml total)
  • Googly eyes (2 per bug)
  • Pipe cleaners (1 per bug for antennae)
  • Scissors and glue stick
  • Black marker
  • Small paintbrushes

Instructions

  • Paint or cover each toilet paper roll in a base color of your choice. Let it dry completely before decorating.
  • Cut out wing shapes from patterned paper, each wing should be about 8 cm long. You can use floral, marbled, or glitter designs for variety.
  • Glue the wings to the back of the roll, slightly angled outward so they look like they’re fluttering.
  • Attach googly eyes to the front top of each roll, then draw a friendly smile or expressive face with a black marker.
  • Poke two small holes on top, insert pipe cleaners, and curl them to make playful antennae.
  • Finally, add extra details like dots, lines, or small stickers for unique patterns.
