Beautiful Bugs Art Box
Love them or hate them, creepy crawlies are everywhere! In these creative projects, inspired by artists old and new, we look at how to create a wall of recycled bugs, painted butterflies, snail drawings and shapes, spider collages, dragonfly bug jars, cricket patterns and finally moth wings you can wear.
This art box includes up-cycling projects – for more cardboard crafts try the wonderful book Sustainable Play by Sydney Piercey! Click here to find out more.
What is inside the Beautiful Bugs Box?
