How to Make a Heart Ladybug Craft – DIY Valentines Day Card Idea

What you need:

• our printable template (optional)
• red construction paper (we recommend you print on red paper)
• black construction paper
• scissors
• glue

You can also print the template on white paper and have the kids color in the template.

Step by Step Tutorial

Print out our template. If you are going to use our template as stencil, we do recommend you print it on red heavier print paper, as this way you won’t need to cut the little black hearts to place on the ladybug’s wings.

If your kids are going to color in the template, let them color it before they cut it.

Cut out all the parts for the heart ladybug craft.

Trace the body part (two joining hearts) on black paper.

Also cut the head on black paper.

Trace the wings on red paper.

Cut out all parts.

You can cut the 7 small black hearts and stick them on the red heart or you can draw the hearts yourself. 

Cut the red heart in half.

Fold the body (joined hearts) in half – making a heart shaped card.

Stick on the small heart for the head of the ladybug.

Stick on the two wings, slightly open apart.

Cut a small white (or any other bright) heart shape (or other shape) and stick it inside the ladybug heart card.

Write your note.

All done!

You’ve made an adorable little heart ladybug craft.
