How to make
Paint one side of your spoons, leave them to dry and then paint the other side.
Once dry, use black paint to paint the tip of the spoon and paint a line down the middle of the spoon.
Add spots to your ladybird.
Cut a quarter of a black pipe cleaner and bend it in half. Then, using glue add two black pompoms to the ends of the pipe cleaner to create your antlers.
Turn the spoon on its back and glue the feelers to the spoon. Hold it down for a minute or so until it has stuck down.
As an optional extra, add a little face to your ladybird.
Paint the base of your spoons then leave them to dry.
Once dry, paint the other side of your spoons the same colour.
Glue over the middle of the spoon and add biodegradable glitter to create a shiny sun effect.
Tap glitter off on a piece of paper to avoid mess.
Draw a sun shape around the spoon on some yellow card, then cut it out.
Stick the cut out shape to the back of your spoon.
Add embellishments such as pom poms and gems!
Paint the base of your spoons and then leave them to dry.
Once dry, paint the other side of your spoons the same colour.
Add a lighter green semi-circle for the head.
Next, take a green pipe cleaner, bend it in half to create legs, then bend a piece into a small V shape to create feet.
Repeat this step 3 times with smaller pieces of pipe cleaner, then glue to the back of the spoon.
