These cute insect magnets are super quick and easy to make, all it takes is 3 simple steps. You can make whatever insects you like, we decided to make a Ladybird beetle, a Honeybee, a Blue milkweed beetle, and a Striped cucumber beetle. Take a look at our magnets in the picture above for some inspiration and follow the instructions below to create your own little insect magnets!

Materials:

Bottle caps

Step 1: Start collecting bottle caps if you haven’t already and give them a quick rinse.
