Step 9: Now, take one of the two red circles you have already made. 

Step 10:  Fold the circle in half.

Step 11: Take another red circle. Fold it, too, into two halves.

Step 12: Now, take one of the two folded red-coloured circles and paste some glue on one of the two folded sides. Also, stick it on the black-colored circle you cut out from the middle portion, with a slight bend outward as shown in the image.

Step 13: Repeat the same using the second red-coloured circle on the black-colored circle, just on the opposite side of the one that you have already stuck.

Step 14: Let it dry now.

Step 15: Take a small, black, rectangle-shaped piece of craft paper and cut a triangle from it.

Step 16: Cut two corners of the triangle paper to make the two edges curved.

Step 17: Now stick that piece of paper under the black circle that you have already made, with its pointed edge not visible and the curved side popping out to form the head of the ladybug.

Step 18: Now take two thin, rectangular pieces of red craft paper. 

Step 19: Take a small stick and roll one edge of the thin rectangular paper on it.

Step 20: Now repeat the same with the second rectangle of paper.

Step 21: Now stick each rolled paper under the head of the ladybird in a way that the rolled edges pop out.

Step 22: Let it dry.

Step 23: Now stick two eye stickers or draw two eyes on the upper side of the ladybug's head just as shown in the image.

Step 24: Let it dry.

Step 25: Now take an earbud and dip one end in black color.

Step 26: Print some scattered dots on the upper side of the bug's wings. Your cute ladybug is ready to fly. Make more ladybugs like this if you want.
