I have a great idea for a ladybug costume that I made last year. My daughter was only 1 year old at the time. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a $2.00 black t-shirt with snaps and two pieces of red felt. I had some black t-shirt paint left over from another project. I took a dish and traced a circle on the felt, then I painted black dots on it. I cut the felt in half and had wings for my butterfly. You can pin them on so you can reuse the shirt later. If its cold you can put black leggings on your child. The antennae was made out of the fuzzy pipe cleaners and then I glued 2 pom poms on the ends. -- Yvonne Kass, Pace, Florida
Use a red vest or shirt with the arms cut off. Cut out black spots of felt and glue on. Super easy and cute! -- Kim from MN
Materials needed: 2 red posterboards, black leotard and tights, wide black ribbon, headband with those styrofoam balls on the end, black tissue fabric. Make the ladybug "shell" with the posterboard and connect them using the black ribbon. Hang this on the shoulders (like those old-fashioned sandwich board advertisers). Cover the styrofoam balls on the headband with the tissue/fabric for antennae. Wear the leotard and tights underneath the red poster board. -- Susan from TX
