The Lady Bug-

1.Cut design pieces. (I used double sided cardstock for the body piece with legs)

2. Glue the legged body piece to the solid body piece. Glue the eye piece with eye ball cut outs to it’s solid base. Use foam adhesive squares to stack the hearts from largest on bottom to smallest on top.

3. Center and glue the stacked hearts to the curved piece ( looks like a smile).Use foam adhesive squares to attach the lady bug heart piece to the top of the combined body piece and the combined eyes to the head piece. 

4. Use foam adhesive squares to attach the combined head piece and the small circles to the antennas. ( I cut the squares to make them small enough for the antenna dots) Curve the lady bug legs as you like. Glue the combined stacked hearts to the inside of the top two leg dots. ( I used hot glue)

5. Center and line up the bottom of the box and the lady bug. Use foam adhesive dots to secure your completed lady bug to the box:)
