Ladybug yard decor brings whimsy to your garden and can be a fun project to do with kids. Using materials you likely have around the house, these projects can be finished quickly and make for a great activity for an afternoon or on a lazy weekend. You can even paint a whole flock of these adorable creatures to line your flower beds, or even use them as indoor decor.
These cute little bugs are easy to create with a bit of creativity and some recycled plastic bottles. You can make them in all different sizes and colors, or just stick with one classic red and black ladybug. This is a great way to add a touch of whimsy to your garden and makes for a wonderful gift for any occasion.
The best part about these DIY ladybugs is that they are made from recycled bottles, so you can feel good about making a green craft. The process is simple and requires no special skills or tools, so anyone can do it. To start, cut two oval pieces from a clear plastic water bottle that are the same size and shape. Spray paint them with black acrylic paint and then stipple on dots to resemble the wings of the insect.
Allow the paint to dry and then glue the wings to the back of the body piece. Flip the body piece over and then glue the clear ovals with just squiggly lines on them to the top. Let this dry and then add the face on top with a bit of white paint and then a red and black paint pen to draw on the details like eyes, nose, and mouth.
