Instructions

Frog

Step 1:

Paint the outside of two 3.5″ saucers and one 2.625″ clay pot in green. Once done, paint the inside of the saucers pink including the edges. Paint 2 doll heads in green. Once dry, paint the top edge of the clay pot in light green, then a small portion of the side.

Step 2:

Cut a rectangle piece of pink foam and curve one of the edges to make the tongue.

Step 3:

Wrap half of the beads with tape and use it as a guide to make a line with a marker. Adjust the tape so that the line is covered, then paint the uncovered part with white. Let them dry then remove the tape.

Step 4:

Make white dots on the dark green part of the clay pot.

Step 5:

Take the beads and draw an eye on each one on the white part.

Step 6:

Glue the bottom of the clay pot to the back of the saucer. Fold the tongue in half lengthwise and glue on the saucer. Next, glue the other saucer on top upside down. Lastly, glue the eyes.

Ladybug

Step 1:

Paint the 2.375 clay pot and one doll head with red paint. After that, make the wings using the pattern.

Step 2:

Draw a heart-like shape on the doll’s head, then draw a little triangle on the top part of the clay pot. Paint the doll’s head except for the heart shape and the triangle on the clay pot.  Next, paint dots on the clay pot. Paint two half-round beads in white for the eyes.

Step 3:

Drill two holes on the head and attach antennas.

Step 4:

Glue two small black circles on the white wooden beads, then attach them to the head.

Step 5:

Glue the head with a small piece of cork attached to the bottom of the clay pot. Paint the cork red. Next, glue the wings at the back and a ribbon in front.
