Bees crafting - sweet bees of chenille thread
I made one last year. But our cat had caught him many times. Somehow our cat adores chenille thread figurines. Also the chenille wire spiders I had were favorite. I kept grabbing the bee, I put it back somewhere, and a few days later I saw him walking with my bee again. It has become a little crumpled, so not so beautiful anymore to photograph..
Today I, following the National Bee Count that's why only 3 new and fresh bees made, it was so squeaky! So I have already counted 3 bees, and I will fill out on my bee count form:)
Method:
-
Take 2 chenille threads, roll them around a pen and slide it off the pen.
-
Punch the bead at the bodice. This can be done with a little glue, but it also stays in place without glue.
-
Puncture the antennae into the upper hole of the bead.
-
Form wings of 1 black chenille thread and twist it once between the bodice
-
Stick eyelets, draw nose and mouth with a waterproof marker.

Overigens kocht ik vroeger voor mijn bengaaltje altijd een spin aan touwtje en die had inderdaad van die chenille pootjes. Die spin nam hij over al mee naar toe. Ging hij eten dan lag de spin bij zijn bak.
