1.) If you're using the kit, pull out all your pieces and attach wings to body first, using small dabs of glue from your glue gun.
2.) Next attach nose and small pieces of black ribbon.
3.) Apply red heart to center and small yellow circles for hands.
4.) Bend pipecleaners into antennae shape, apply small dab of glue on back of the bee's head and press into the glue, holding until it hardens. For extra measure, apply a dab of glue on top of that, to hold the antennae to the body.
5.) Using the felt tipped pen, draw on eyes and mouth.
6.) Add extra foam hearts as desired.
