These little cuties are super fast & easy to make. Show your love by making a Love Bug for someone today!

Materials List
1) Yarn - any color, any size, any texture. You only need a small amount, so this would be good way to use up scrap yarn.
2) Pipe Cleaner - any color.
3) Crochet Hook - any size. The hook will not be used for crochet.
4) Foam Heart - any color, just cut out a heart out of a piece of foam.
5) Glue - any glue will work, I just prefer E6000.
6) Pom Pon maker - this is Clover's 2.5 inch.
7) Googly Eyes - any size.
8) Scissors

Wind yarn around 1st half of Pom Pon maker

Cut the yarn around the Pom Pon maker

Continue winding around the 2nd half of Pom Pon maker.

Secure the Pom Pon tightly with a scrape piece of yarn & cut.

Add your pipe cleaner around the Pom Pon maker before you take out the Pom Pon. Twist the pipe cleaner a couple times to secure to the Pom Pon.

Now it's time to take your Love Bug to the Salon (or Barber, if it's a boy....)

Give your Love Bug a little Haircut to shape the Pom Pon.

Curl the pipe cleaners around the crochet hook for "Curly Cues" for girls or "Alien Tentacles" for boys.

Glue the foam heart to the bottom for feet & glue the googly eye on the front.
