Thyme to see what all the BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is about

Today I am going to show you how to make some

BUMBLE BEES!

PAINTS
DecoArt Americana Acrylic paints
Lamp Black, Antique Gold

SUPPLIES
EGG shape wooden pieces and small wooden balls that have a FLAT side
( these can usually be found in craft stores)
glue gun, rusty wire, old window screen

LET'S GET STARTED!

I glued egg shaped wood pieces to

the small wooden balls.

The wooden balls SHOULD have one flat side

I cut a slit on one side of the egg

I then painted them using
Lamp Black

When dry I  added some stripes using
Antique Gold

Hmmmmmmmmmm
Do you know what this
is going to
BEEEEEEEEEE
yet?????

I then cut some wings

out of an old screen

I folded it in half

 

I inserted the wings into the slit I had made

I cut 2 small pieces of black wire

I curled the ends

I drilled two tiny holes in the head

and

added the antennae

I took some heavy rusted wire

and wrapped it around a pencil

I drilled another small hole

on bottom side of the egg

OH...............its a BUMBLEBEE!

I made some vanilla stained tags

I wrote

BEESKEP

on them

I designed, cut out and painted this BEESKEP to attach my bee to!

I also painted this sign

So there you have it......

all thats
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZING
here!


Happy Painting!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.
Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness,
and
at the end of the day you don't look at it
and
wish you had painted something different."
