How to Make a Cute Bumblebee DIY
Oh, friend, isn’t it just the best when you stumble upon a craft that’s as sweet as summer lemonade? That’s exactly how I feel about making a bumblebee out of loopy yarn.
It’s one of those projects that brings a little sunshine with it, no matter the weather outside.
And don’t worry about being perfect; this is the kind of craft where a little quirkiness only adds to the charm. It’s like making a new friend who’s happy just to be created by you.
Step One:
Paint the wooden bead yellow. Create black stripes around bead with black Sharpie. Allow to dry. 
Step Two:
Thread embroidery floss through a black button through two holes. Tie off into a double knot and trim to create bumblebee antennae.
Hot glue button head to wood bead and optionally add a second button as the bottom of the bee. Cut off two of the yellow loops together from the loopy yarn.
Step Three:
Hot glue the bee to the loopy yarn wings.
Optional Step Four:
Cut out wording from decorative napkins. Separate napkins to reach the thinnest single layer. Apply a thin layer of mod podge to the wax warmer front.
Position napkin wording over mod podge and add top thin coat of mod podge.
Use a baggie or saran wrap to smooth over any bubbles. Be cautious not to tear the delicate napkin layer.
Step Five:
Allow to dry and hot glue bumblebee to side of wax warmer. Add wax cubes and enjoy!
