How to make a recycled bee craft

1. Begin by painting the outside of your cardboard toilet roll yellow. After it is dry, paint a few black stripes around your toilet roll. Set that aside to dry completely.
2. To make your bee body, fold down two sides on the end of the toilet roll, then press the other two sides together. Staple the end shut. (See pictures above for more details.) On the opposite end, follow the same process but add a piece of black pipe cleaner inside the toilet roll before stapling it shut. This is your bee stinger.
3. Use a small pointy screwdriver or something similar to poke three holes on each side of your bee for the legs. Then poke two holes on the top of the bee body near the front of the face. These are for the bee antennae.
4. Cut two black pipe cleaners into quarters so you have 8 pieces. Poke six of them through all the holes on the sides of the toilet roll, leaving a small section out of the roll and bend downward to form bee legs. Then poke two more down inside the holes on the top for antennae.
5. Cut bee wings out of your newspaper. Then finish your awesome recycled bee craft by gluing the newspaper bee wings and the googly eyes on your toilet roll.
