There are a lot of ways to make crafts with bees. You can use the wax, honeycomb, or even the paper from the hive.

Looking for some cute summer or ocean themed whale crafts? These crafts are very easy to assemble and even toddlers can make them! . All you need is some paper, glue, and paint. Paint the paper yellow and let it dry. Cut out strips of black construction paper and glue them to the sides of the mask to look like antennae. Add on some googly eyes and you’re ready to go!

#2: Make Honeycomb Picture Frames

Cut out squares of yellow construction paper and glue them together in rows until they form a honeycomb shape. Glue this onto your picture frame so it looks like it’s filled with honeycombs!

A lot of people nowadays are recycling items to make crafts. This is a great way to reuse old stuff and make something new out of it.

Especially if you’re a mom, re-using old materials like toilet rolls, paper towel rolls and more is a great way to recycle items AND teach your kids how to appreciate any item they have at home.

It is a good way for brands to give their customers a chance to help the planet, while making something beautiful and unique.

Crafts made with recycled materials also usually cost less than crafts made with new materials.
