This is ideal as a children's garden themed craft project and can be easily adapted into ugly bugs or pretty bugs.

Crafty Step by Step Instructions
-
For younger kids it is probably best for an adult to draw two lines around the paper mache pot, older kids will be able to do this themselves.
-
First paint the yellow lines around the pot and leave to dry.
-
Then paint the black lines around the middle and top of the pot, being careful not to overlap the yellow.
-
Whilst the black paint is drying, bend the pipe cleaners to make the antennae and glue to the back of the 35mm pom pom.
-
Stick two googly eyes and a mini black pom pom nose to create the buzzy bee's face.
-
Glue the face to the flower pot.
And there you have it, a Buzzy Bee Flower Pot made by your own little honey bees!
You could add a small piece of red felt or red foam for the mouth for an extra little smile....
Other Paper Mache Flower Pot Craft Ideas
You could adapt this idea to make a ladybird, a spider or even a butterfly.
They would also make lovely gifts for Mother's Day, although perhaps not the spider?!
Perhaps you could make them as pretty spring bugs to add mini chocolate eggs to or a Christmas reindeer with festive treats?
As a kids craft idea this is so versatile and can be used in so many different ways.
