Materials:

Bumble Bee SVG
Cutting Machine
Cardstock Paper
Double Sided Tape
Sticky Putty or Restickable Tabs (For mounting on walls)

Step 1: Cut out your bees

Cut out your bees and their backings. The bees’ bodies include fold lines along the wing folds (please note: if you are using Design Space, you must change these fold lines from Cut to Score before sending your project to cut). In your SVG file, the backings for the bees with two wings are the same, so you can use the same backing for any bee with two wings.

Step 2: Apply double-sided tape

Cut out some double-sided tape and place it along the black bands of each bee. I used double-sided tape with backing on it, but this isn’t necessary.

Step 3: Attach backing

Line up the back piece and attach it to the bee. When you create the bee with the single wing, make sure you’ve decided which direction it will face before attaching the backing.

Once the backing is attached, remember to fold the wings up so you get the 3D effect when you put them on your walls. And that’s it! Easy right?

Once assembled, these bumble bees can be styled as wall decor, added to party backdrops, or used to complete a bee-themed baby shower or birthday setup. Experiment with different color combinations to match your theme and create a coordinated look.
