Walnut Bug Craft

Kids Crafts

Get creative and crafty with the Walnut Bug, a delightful insect-inspired art piece that's perfect for nature lovers and craft enthusiasts. This charming bug is carefully crafted from a real walnut shell, complete with intricate details and textures that mimic the natural patterns of a beetle's exoskeleton. With its unique shape and rustic charm, the Walnut Bug makes for a beautiful paperweight, decorative accent, or gift for someone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

You will need:

  • Walnut shells
    • Paint
    • Glue – tacky craft glue is perfect but failing that PVA or school glue would be fine too
    • Felt (or construction paper) scraps
    • Googly eyes

    • How to:

    1. Paint the back two thirds of your walnut shell in a flat colour and allow to dry
    2. Paint white polkadots over the flat colour.
    3. Paint a little smily mouth.
    4. Glue the eyes on.
    5. Fold your felt scrap in half and cut a little teardrop shape diagonally against the fold, unfold to reveal bug wings. Glue them on.
