Materials:

• Recycled CDs or DVDs
• Fine grit sandpaper
• Felt in various colors
• Black craft paint
• Large googly eyes
• Round sponge applicator
• White craft glue
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Trace one of your CDs onto a piece of paper and cut out the circle. You will use this as your template.
   
   
   
   
    
2. Sand the surface of each CD/DVD lightly, just enough to knock off any gloss coating.
   
   
    
3. Trace the template onto a piece of felt. Cut the circle out of the felt. Repeat this process for all of the colors that you will be using for your ladybugs.
   
   
    
4. Draw a curved line on your paper template for the ladybug's head (see photo). The shape will resemble a football. Cut it out and use it as a template to cut how ever many heads you need for your ladybugs using black felt.
   
   
    
5. Glue the colored felt circles to the CD/DVDs; then glue the black felt head pieces on top of the colored circles.
   
   
    
6. Use a round sponge applicator dipped in black paint to add spots to the colored felt on each ladybug.
   
   
    
7. Glue on googly eyes to the black ladybug heads.
