The Bee
You can either get a ready made bee for this project or try to find one in a craft store that might need painting or perhaps is finished ready made.
For this wreath I found a bug at Dollar General that I transformed into a bee. If you would like to see how I did it, go here!

Getting it Right
I tried a couple different layouts before I for to my finished plan.
In the end, it still was a little different and I changed a few things in my materials to get the look that I wanted.
