Directions:
Step 1
Start by cutting the felt into 10¼ by 9 inches, then apply hot glue along one side, and fold the other side over matching the edges and gluing them together. Open up the felt as shown in the video, then make sure that the seam is centered, and glue one end together. Open it again, then fold the corner over to the center, and glue them in place.

Step 2
Allow the glue to dry completely, then turn it right side out, and then cut the chipboard into 12 by 3½ inches. Roll it up and insert it into the felt, then place the styrofoam ball inside as well, apply some glue around the inside, and fold the edges of the felt inside nicely. Next, fold the edge outward to make a cuff, then cut the fleece into a circle, and insert it into the felt.
Step 3
Piece together the feet as shown in the video, then attach them to the felt or body and create the leaves. Attach the leaves to the top and inside of the felt, then add the bug embellishments, and then attach the eyes, mouth, and hands. Lastly, insert some flowers at the center of the leaves and you’re done!
