Instructions:
Print Patriot Bug Parts. Many injet printers will allow you to run stiffened felt. This will work good for the feet, hands, and eyes. You can also use heavy index paper. If using craft foam, print it on regular paper and staple it onto foam and trim around outlines. Use regular paper for the flag.
Make a pompon by wrapping yarn around floppy disk (or heavy cardboard) as least 100 times. Mix the yarn colors any way you would like. Cut a 6" piece of yarn and slide it under wrapped yarn. Tie tightly into a double knot. Turn floppy over and cut completely through yarn on this side.
Turn yarn blob sideways and smooth down strands. Cut out 1 section of the egg carton. Trim so it sits securely upside down. Use tacky glue to glue the egg cup upside down on the feet. Cover the top and some of the sides of the cup with tacky glue. Separate the strands of the pompon to fit the egg cup up inside. Press pompon into place. Arrange yarn.
Use tacky glue to attach eyes and hands. Fold flag in half and glue around toothpick. Glue to hand.
