Trim a large heart motif from red paper and fix this to the centre of the back with the point towards the head of the bug. (pic a)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; width: 1px; height: 1px; top: 0px; left: -10000px;">Bend the legs downwards where they join the body and check the bug stands up without tipping over. If necessary trim a little off the bottom of the legs to balance it. Cut tiny red hearts and glue these down each leg. (pic b)</div>

<li>Cut a boomerang shape from self-adhesive blue foam (<em>use our template</em>). Remove the backing paper and fix to a piece of yellow foam. Cut around the edge to make a double sided boomerang. <strong><em>(pic a)</em></strong></li>
<li>Take some green self-adhesive foam and cut into 5mm wide strips. Place these across the width of the boomerang leaving a big space in the middle. Add some red strips and some narrower ones of yellow foam. <strong><em>(pic b)</em></strong></li>
<li>Draw a zig-zag pattern on the back of a strip of white self-adhesive foam and cut it out. Stick zig-zags between the straight lines. <strong><em>(pic c)</em></strong></li>
<li>Use a metallic 3D pen to draw a lizard design in the space on the curve of the boomerang. Use a cocktail stick to paint really thin lines to mark out the toes of the lizard. Add coloured dots to the rest of the boomerang and leave to dry. <strong><em>(pic d)</em></strong></li>

<li>Punch two small holes at the top of the other curve to thread ribbon through for hanging.</li>
<li>Use double-sided tape to fix the pad to the back of the foam, lining up the base and side of the pad neatly with the bottom point of the heart. <strong><em>(pic c)</em></strong></li>
<li>Fix some glitter heart stickers to the front and draw on more dots and shapes with a glitter pen. <strong><em>(pic d)</em></strong></li>
