WHAT YOU NEED Glue, Felt or Leather. String, Bugs, Paint/Nail Polish,Scissors and Imagination!

Step One

STEP ONE Find your critters. We found ours in a dollar store. (They were begging us to take them home…)

Step Two

STEP TWO Paint your critters. We used nail polish for bright in- your -face color but any kind of paint will work. Apply generously.

Step Three

STEP THREE Cut the felt or leather into a desired collar or bib shape. No need for exact precision. With a pair of scissors, cut a piece of string and tiny slits at each end of the leather/felt collar to attach. Attach string by passing it through the slit and tying a knot to secure.
