My Baby Bee || DIY Bee contest
I was going through my feed and I saw a post about this month’s DIY challenge, I commented but deep down I knew it was going to be a tough nut to crack but when I got a notification reminding me not to forget to participate in the contest I just told myself “baby girl go for it” and yes I went for it!
@wongi was the one that motivated me to create my own bee, I call her the DIY Queen because her creativity knows no bounds so when I saw her bee and other community members' bees I laughed at myself because I knew I was gonna come up with not a bee but a hideous creature.
I started my journey by first assembling all the materials I needed to create my mind-blowing bee. I used simple materials that were available at home.
Materials
- Yellow fabric
- White fabric
- A pair of scissors
- Threads
- Lighter
- Cotton wools
- Needle
- Paper clip
The procedure
Step 1:
I started by sewing the yellow fabric together and I left an opening that served as a pathway through which I stuffed in some cotton wools.
After successfully closing the path through which I stuffed the cotton wool into my already sown fabric my bee started forming gradually hehehehehe🥰🥰
Step 2:
I used some threads to tie a small portion of the stuffed-up fabric, I made sure it was tight so that the bee's head could be formed, ouch! I almost strangled my bee but trust me I was gentle with it🥰🥰
Step 3:
The round face of my bee was already formed but then what’s a bee without eyes? Ever seen a blind bee before? I used the thread and needle to make a stitch on both sides of my bees face to create my bees eyes and I proceeded to make it’s mouth by making a longer stitch this time.
My bee started to take shape🥰🥰
Step 4:
In order to give my bee its segments, I had to tie some parts of the body with the black thread but this time I didn’t attempt to strangle it, I was really gentle trust me😃😃
Step 5:
To make the antenna of my bee I proceeded with using my paper clip to form one, I divided it into two equal parts and used my black thread to weave over it
I used a lighter to slightly burn the already thread-woven paper clip, which made it firm and shiny.
After doing that I pierced the antenna into my bee's head and I could hear my bee scream for help because it was freaking painful but I did apologize to my bee though😂😂
Step 6:
I carved out a pair of wings from the white fabric and granted it to my bee by sewing it to the body of my bee, yes my bee’s wings are fabulous🥰🥰
Tada! My bee was made!🥰🥰
After I finished my epic creation I was proud of myself for pulling this off and I later went out to take some proper shots of my bee.
I named my bee Hivebuzz because he will continue to have my back just like @hivebuzz does, always leaving a comment even when no one does🥰🥰
All images are mine and were taken with my mobile phone.
Thanks for stopping by
Loads of Love🥰🥰

This is creatively beautiful. And on those leaves, it look perfectly like the real bee.
Lol yes Hivebuzz my baby bee is a survivor, he survived😃
Only God knows how many times I had to take those shots😂😂😂I’m glad it came out well🥰
Shea I told you that you can do anything you want to as far as you put your mind to it. This is beautiful sweetie. I'm super super proud of you.
I don't see where you put that part of it that stings at the bottom but maybe it's because your own bee doesn't sting. Hehe
Absolutely !luv it.🌺❤️
