Valentine’s Day Paper-Piecing Patterns

BUMBLEBEE PAPER-PIECING PATTERN

Vellum wings add a realistic touch to this paper-pieced bumblebee. Jennifer cut small strips of wire for the antennae and secured tiny paper hearts to the ends. To make this bee bobble on a Valentine’s Day card, accordion-fold a strip of cardstock and adhere one end to your card and the other end to the back of the paper piecing.

See how to attach the bumblebee to a card.
