To make your own flying honey bee costume, you'll need just a few supplies. First, gather up some orange, black, and yellow felt. You'll need about a yard of the orange felt for the body and wings, and smaller pieces of the black and yellow for the stripes and details. Next, find some scissors and glue, then string or ribbon to tie everything on.
How to Make the Wings
1. Cut two identical wing shapes out of cardboard.
2. Paint the wings with a gold or yellow paint, or cover them in glitter.
