Paint the face of one of the paper plates black. Let dry. On the face of the second plate draw a line vertically down the center of the plate. Now make three dissimilar measurements to fabricate a triangle shape. Measure up from the bottom of the line 4.5″ and make a mark. Start at the bottom of the center line and measure to the right of the line 3″. Make a mark. Again begin at the bottom of the center line and measure to the left of the line 3″. Make a mark.

Draw a line connecting the mark on the center line to the mark made to the right of the center line. Do the same with the mark made to the left of the center line. The triangle is made. Cut out the triangle (save for a future craft). Flip the plate face side down and paint it red. Let dry.

Cut a 4.5″ circle from the black construction paper for the ladybug’s head. For the eyes, cut two circles from the white construction paper. With the head facing you, glue the circles to the face near the edge of the plate. For the pupils, cut two circles from the black paper with regards to one-third of the size of the white circles. Glue the black circles to the white circles. Place the black plate painted side up. Glue the head to the top edge of the plate. About 3.25″of the circle will have to stick out past the plate. Let dry.

Cut eight elongated triangles for the ladybug’s legs when it comes to 5″ long. Flip the black paper plate white side up. Glue four legs to the edge of each side of the plate. Let dry. Using the black marker draw ladybug spots on red plate.

Place the black plate painted side up. Add glue to the top edge of the plate. Place the red plate on top of the glue. The side where the triangle was cut out ought to be opposite the head. Make sure the edges are lined up. Let dry.

Cut a little piece of the red pipe cleaner and bend into a “smile.” Glue to the face. Cut a piece of black pipe cleaner in regards to 10″ long. Bend into half into a “V” shape. Curl the end of each pipe cleaner. Glue the pipe cleaners to the head for antennae as shown in the picture. Let dry.

Permanent/alcohol-based pens user? Give these a go
By creamyPB
I tried the basi ‘fine’ bic mark it pens and in truth liked them. They have a gorgeous great range of colors AND best of all – they trade open stock of their colors. ALL of the colors. No such luck with the ‘other’ guys. With the fixed edition approach they take, to replace $harpie colors you need to buy assorted that you don’t need in order to get the ones you want – wasteful and expensive. With the bic pens that’s not a problem. But I require ultrafine point markers. I need the precision for details. And now the marker gods have answered – with these bic markit ultrafines!

The 36 set has all the colors available. So for detail you may use these, if you need to cover more space you may use the ‘fine’ point ones. I’ve never cared for the definition of ‘fine’ points. Because they kind of aren’t. These I would consider a fine point and the .005 type pens I would consider ultrafine. Anyway that’s not important. What is necessary is that these are:

nice pens, comfy to hold
good range of colors
the ink flow is good, doesn’t drip or pool up
the size of the markers is the same as the fine point ones. the only divergence is the tip which means it has a genuinely decent amount of ink in there
the case it comes in is a kinda cool foldout thing to store the markers
really nice price for a 36 set – for less than the other guys which is only 24 – AND with open stock if you have a fave that always runs out first

If you’re a $harpie fiend like me then give them a try. As for me, these have become my new old faves.

Also for anybody who needs to know the package likewise states:

Acid-Free Ink*
*no added acid;no measurable PH – this means that there may be a little in there but not sufficient to worry about. Just a share of the procedure to make the markers most likely. I guess this matters for rubber stamp people or scrapbookers? Not sure but anywho, now you know.

Also consider that you have to put something down underneath the paper you’re using. These – like all permanent markers – WILL bleed through.

EVEN better than fine point Sharpies
By Alex Lovejoy
I’ve been a big fan of felt point pens since the 60′s when I applied to use the ones my Dad held on his desk for elaborated drawings of all my bestloved creations. When I got old sufficient to buy my own gear, Flairs, Expresso’s and Sharpies were always huge favorites. But having tried these Bic’s, they may just yet take the prize. The color selection is fabulous, the line quality and color intensity is great, the feel in the hand is much more comfortable than a Sharpie (though I never felt myself complaining regarding them) and they’re just a finish delight to work with. Yes, they are permanent, so don’t use them without taking that into account, or you might just stain something you don’t mean to. The package these 36 pens come in allows you to disseminate the pens out while keeping them in control, then pack them back up for easy storage with just two folds. Very clever. I may highly commend these to any individual who enjoys using top quality felt tip permanent markers for drawing, sketching, coloring or writing (on very high quality paper).

Wonderful colors at a great price
By Shala Kerrigan
I love Mark-It pens. The ultra fine ones come in a lot of colors including pastels which are fantastic for Shrink Film 8-1/2 Inch X11 Inch Sheets 6/Pkg-Clear because when you shrink plastic the colors intensify and darken rather a bit so a hot pink marker will come out looking more red or burgundy than pink.
I’ve likewise applied these on domino pendants. The pendants do have to be sealed after coloring, but the colors arid well without smearing. For cunning purposes, these are my bestloved permanent markers.
The price is just right too for a lot of colors.
