Collage, Cut and Assemble a "Love Bug"

      This crafty caterpillar or "love bug" can be made from collaged stickers and pink tissue papers. Layer these with Mod Podge on top of a bright white background paper in order to make the colors brilliant. Let the glue dry before cutting out a series of heart shapes. I cut 14 hearts for this example. Then assemble and glue the hearts front to back in a long eruciform type body. Glue on a set of eyes and antenna from chenille stems. Your love bug(s) may then crawl all over the classroom walls or bulletin boards!
