Iridescent beetles
What you need:
What's that glittering and shimmering? When a ray of sunshine touches the room and suddenly little rainbow sparks dance through the air, then you've discovered them: our cheerful Crispy Rainbow beetles! With their sparkling wings and shimmering bodies, they crawl right into every heart - and transform even the simplest table into a little glittering meadow.
Thanks to the iridescent Crispy Rainbow Paper, you can breathe life into your beetle friends in an instant. A bit of wire, a few loving bends, a pair of wings in iridescent colors and you've got bug magic. Depending on how the light falls, they sometimes glow pink, sometimes green, sometimes gold and sometimes even all at the same time. Whether as a cute decoration, a little surprise, a window hanger or as a dazzling play partner for imaginative adventures, the colorful little beetles cut a great figure in any light. And the best thing of all: each beetle is truly unique thanks to your hands. So: grab some crispy paper, bend the wire and your rainbow beetles will be crawling out to make the world a little more colorful!
Glue the parts for the beetle's body together.
Use the side cutter to cut wire for the legs and antennae (10-15 cm for each pair of legs)
Bend the wire in the middle.
Carefully bend the wire ends with the round nose pliers.
Glue the legs to the underside of the body with hot glue.
