How to make a Puzzle Piece Ladybug

Color one puzzle piece completely black with the marker. You can also use paint, crayons or colored pencils.

Give the ladybug some lashes! Peel back the paper off the googly eye to expose the sticky side. Then take little pieces of the feather and stick them to the back of the google eye. When all have been applied, use scissors to trim.

Stick the eyes on the black puzzle piece. You might need a little glue depending on how many glamorous lashes you applied.

Use glue or tape to attach some feather pieces to the back at the top of the black body puzzle piece to give the ladybug some antenna.

Using the red marker, color the two remaining puzzle pieces red.

Use the hole punch to create holes at the ends of the pieces. I would recommend using a black marker to mark a dot in the middle of ends of these pieces to make sure the hole is centered.

Make a hole using the punch in the body puzzle piece, centered right below the eyes.

To attach the wings, stack one on top of the other with the black body piece being at the bottom. Use a metal brad to secure.
