Learn How To Make Some Button Bugs #Craft 23

Begin by cutting your “antennae” wire in 3″ sections.  You’ll need one (1) of these for every creature you’re going to make.

 Take one of the 3″ sections and thread through the eyes of the button.

Twist them tight and then fold up and over the front to resemble “antennae”.

Now attach the (3) 2.5″ pieces onto the glue spot, making sure to cover the pieces in glue, so that they will not fall off.

Using your fingers, or pliers, bend each of the ends of the “legs” down, so that they will be able to be stood up.  Try and bend them apart as well to have space between each of them.

Now you can glue on your eyes.  Just put a small dot on each side of where your antennae go up and attach them onto the front of the button.

Next, you can bend the tips of the antennae however you wish it to look.

Now you can hide them or display them wherever you wish.  Cute little friends for planters or shelves.  Hope you like them!!
