Hello my dear readers, I hope you are having or have had an excellent day. Our friends at #DIYHub offer us an invitation to participate in this beautiful contest (here is the link) dedicated to our industrious little bees.
I had almost prepared the tutorial, I just needed some details, unfortunately the light did not let me finish it on time and be able to publish it before the deadline, but anyway I publish it, I hope you still take it into account, but, if not, well, I'm glad I tried to participate.
I tell you that when I was little, every time I saw a bee, I ran away or scared it away, because the only thing I knew about them was that they stung and you don't know if you are allergic or not to bee stings and I didn't want to wait until they stung me to know if I was allergic or not, so the best thing I could do was to stay away from them.
Well, how wrong I was, it turns out that they don't sting you just because you got in their way. They sting only when you bother them and they are threatened, otherwise it's just a simple insect doing its job, collecting pollen and nectar from each flower.
Did you know that this little animal is so important in the world, because 60% of the world's pollination depends on them, and without bees, in approximately 5 years the planet would be lifeless. That is why we must treat them with more respect and we can also help them by planting flowers and not using insecticides on plants. Let's be more conscious and take care of them, because our future and that of our children depends on them.
To participate in the contest, I made a mobile with some bees and I want to show you the step by step, I hope you like it.
STEP BY STEP:
I will start by cutting out the cardboard, cutting the cones it comes with, trying to leave them round, as shown in the image.
And I will need 8 cones to make 4 bees, and that's how I got them.
With the white glue, I will pour it all around the edge and I will glue, trying not to leave gaps and for this I will press one with the other so that they stick well.
Cut a strip of crepe paper, approximately 5 cm wide. Then glue it to the cardboard and line it with the ribbon I cut out, as shown in the picture.
As you can see in the picture, I left some crepe paper at one end. I rolled it up and glued it so that it would be hard and not fall off, this will serve as the sting of the bee.
I performed this process on all the cones, which will be the body of the bees.
Now, with the black marker, paint the stingers, then make a line down the center and then two lines down, to give it the characteristic look of the bees, their stripes.
The result is as follows.
With the sheet of paper, I will cut out the wings and the eyes. To make the wings I will paint the shape of an elongated 8 and then fold the sheet in the middle of the 8 and cut out, the idea of doing that is so that the 2 wings are the same size. And for the eyes I just cut out some small circles.
With the help of the white glue, glue the wings on the top and the eyes. With the marker paint a black dot on the eye and paint the mouth as well.
From a plastic soda bottle, cut out the smooth side and cut out a circle approximately 2 cm wide. And cut out a strip of the blue crepe paper, about 1.5 cm wide.
Line the circle with the crepe paper, wrapping it all around, as shown in the picture.
With the black knitting yarn, I made the strings that will hold the bees and left some thread at the top to be able to hang it. The size of the length of the threads that I left for the bottom are different, some short and some long, so that they do not look crowded and can be better appreciated.
To give the final touch to the bees, with the knitting yarn, I made some antennae. I cut a piece of yarn and tied some knots at the ends and then I glued them and waited for them to dry and harden, and then I glued them on the bees.
I then glued the bees to the threads of the mobile and they are ready to fly.
I hope you liked this tutorial that I gladly prepared for you. I say goodbye as always, but not before thanking you for taking a little of your valuable time to visit my blog and support me. And as the saying goes, “Do good, without looking at whom”.

Hola mis queridos lectores, espero que tengan o hayan tenido un excelente día. Nuestros amigos de #DIYHub nos ofrecen una invitación a participar en este hermoso concurso (aquí les dejo el enlace) dedicado a nuestras laboriosas abejitas.
Ya tenía casi preparado el tutorial, solo me faltaban algunos detalles, lamentablemente la luz no me dejo terminar a tiempo y poder publicarlo antes de la fecha límite, pero de todos modos lo publico, ojalá lo tomen en cuenta todavía, pero, sino, bueno me alegra haber hecho el intento de participar.
Les cuento que cuando era pequeña, cada vez que veía una abeja, salía corriendo o la espantaba, pues lo único que sabía de ellas, era que picaban y uno no sabe si es alérgico o no a las picadas de abeja y no quería esperar a que me picaran, para saber si soy alérgica o no, así que lo mejor que podía hacer era alejarme de ella.
Pues qué equivocada estaba, resulta que ellas no te pican por el simple hecho de que te atravesaste en su camino. Pican solo cuando las molestas y se ven amenazadas, de lo contrario es solo un simple insecto haciendo su trabajo, recogiendo polen y néctar de cada flor.
Sabían que este animalito es tan importante en el mundo, debido a que de ellas depende el 60% de polinización mundial, y sin las abejas, en un aproximado de 5 años el planeta se quedaría sin vida. Por eso hay que tratarlas con más respeto y también podemos ayudarlas, sembrando flores y no usar insecticidas en las plantas. Seamos más conscientes y cuidémoslas, que de ellas depende nuestro futuro y el de nuestros hijos.
Para la participación del concurso, realice un móvil con unas abejitas y quiero mostrarle el paso a paso, espero que les guste.
PASO A PASO:
Empezaré recortando el cartón, cortando los conos que trae, tratando de dejarlos redondos, tal como se muestra en la imagen.
Y necesitaré 8 conos para realizar 4 abejas, y así me quedaron.
Con la pega blanca, le echaré por todo el borde e iré pegando, tratando de que no queden huecos y para ello hago presión uno con otro para que se peguen bien.
Recorte una tira de papel crepe, de aproximadamente 5 cm de ancho. Luego le eche pega al cartón y lo forraré con la cinta que recorte, tal como se muestra en la imagen.
Como pueden ver en la imagen, deje resto de papel crepe en uno de los extremos. Esto lo enrolle y le eche pega para que quede duro y no se caiga, esto me servirá como el aguijón de la abeja.
Ese proceso lo realicé en todos los conos, que serán el cuerpo de las abejas.
Ahora, con el marcador negro, le pinte los aguijones, luego realice una línea por todo el centro y luego dos líneas más abajo, para darle el aspecto que caracteriza a las abejas, sus rayas.
Quedando de esta manera.
Con la hoja de papel, recortaré las alas y los ojos. Para hacer las alas pintaré la forma de un 8 alargado y luego doble la hoja por el medio del 8 y recorte, la idea de hacer eso, es para que queden las 2 alas del mismo tamaño. Y para los ojos solo recorte unos círculos pequeños.
Con la ayuda de la pega blanca, pegue las alas en la parte de arriba y los ojos. Con el marcado pinte un punto negro en el ojo y pinte la boca también.
De una botella plástica de refresco, recorte la parte lisa y saque un círculo de aproximadamente 2 cm de ancho. Y recorte una tira del papel crepe azul, de aproximadamente 1.5 de ancho.
Forre el círculo con la el papel crepe, envolviéndolo por todo el alrededor, tal como se aprecia en la imagen.
Con el hilo de tejer negro, hice las cuerdas que llevaran las abejas para sostenerse y dejando hilo en la parte de arriba para poderlo guindar. El tamaño del largo de los hilos que deje para la parte de abajo, son diferentes, unos cortos y otros largos, para que así no se vean amontonadas y se puedan apreciar mejor.
Para darle el toque final a las abejas, con el hilo de tejer, hice unas antenas. Recorte un retazo de hilo y le hice unos nudos en los extremos y luego le eche pega y espere a que secaran y se pusieran duros, para luego pegarlas en las abejas.
Quedando así las abejas y luego las pegue en los hilos del móvil y ya están lista para volar.
Espero que te haya gustado este tutorial que con mucho gusto preparé para ustedes. Me despido como siempre, no sin antes agradecerte por tomarse un poco de su valioso tiempo para visitar mi blog y apoyarme. Y como dice el dicho: “Haz el bien, sin mirar a quién”.
