How to Make an Antenna for Bug Clippies
- 1). Cut the ribbon along both long edges to create two 1-cm wide strips. Discard the center strip and keep the two narrow edge strips.
- 2). Pinch one end of one of the strips of ribbon inside the tip of an alligator clip. Keep your fingers on the clip and quickly pass the strip of ribbon through the flame of the cigarette lighter to seal it.
- 3). Hold the clip and ribbon strip 1 inch above the flame of the cigarette lighter until the ribbon strip begins to curl. Remove the strip of ribbon from the alligator clip.
- 4). Place the second strip of ribbon in the alligator clip. Use the cigarette lighter to seal and curl the strip of ribbon in the same manner as you did the first one.
- 5). Hot-glue the antennae to the back of the bug's head before attaching the bug to the clip.
