Hi Everyone!! I wanted to share a project I did using a toilet paper roll. I made this adorable bee and filled it with Hershey Kisses for a Valentines Day treat for my little sweetie!
The little bee was super simple to make. First cover your toilet paper roll in black cardstock. Then I cut 2 yellow strips of cardstock with my pinking blade. Cut two 2" circles for the ends and I stamped the face with PK Happy Lashes face stamp.
I used 2 thin strips of black cardstock and accordion folded them for the antennas and legs. Cut a heart from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge at 1 1/2" and stamped BE MINE from Close to my heart stamp set.
I cut the wings out of Vellum using the Art Philosophy cartridge using the petal image. I then used my cuttlebug and the swiss dots embossing folder to emboss the wings.
Isn't his stinger cute!! I used some scrap black cardstock and just rolled it and cut it to a point.
I addend hearts to the ends of this antennas.
I am really happy with how the bee turned out and cannot wait to give it to my little sweetie!!
I am entering this project in the following challenges!!
Peachy Keen Challenge - use toilet paper roll
My Craft Spot - Valentines (card or treat packaging)
