Notes
Electrical tape works especially well for this craft because it wraps smoothly around the bottle and creates bright bee stripes without needing paint.
I found it easiest to wrap the tape onto the bottle before attaching the wings and googly eyes.
Crafts and activities should be supervised by adults at all times. Small parts are a choking hazard.
