REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

1. Place 2 pieces of yellow tape diagonally on both shoulders of your sweatshirt. Create a stripe across the chest and keeping adding more to create horizontal stripes. Add stripes on the back as well.
2. For wings, use a piece of tulle and wrap a gold pipe cleaner around the middle. Bring in corners of both ends and secure in the middle with the rest of the pipe cleaner. Add 2 more pipe cleaners to separate wings.
3. Safety pin the wings to the back of your sweatshirt where your shoulder blades would be.
4. Create a stinger out of yellow foam by cutting out a circle. Cut halfway into the circle, and twist into the shape of a party hat. Glue the inside and attach it your to shirt from the inside with safety pins.
5. Twist 2 pairs of pipe cleaners together and stick them into styrofoam balls. Cover the balls in glue and roll them in gold glitter, using a plastic plate to catch excess glitter. Set aside to dry for 20 minutes, then attach them to your headband to create glittery antennae!
