Many people find the world of insects fascinatingly interesting. Many children are attracted to insects. Bumble bees are strong characters.

I recommend my vector templates as…
• Children’s room wall art.
A lot of crafty mums make nursery or kids’ room decorations themselves. Bumble bees can be a popular theme for both boys and girls.

• Great for adult crafters, too.
Gift for Cricut cutting machine users. Gift for insect lovers.

• Digital file as a gift?
Do you like this paper project, but feel weird about giving a digital file as a gift? Complete it with a nice paper selection or a glue gun, which you give as a tangible gift, and the recipient can use these when using the digital templates.

• Educational or art school project.
Nature-themed school science presentation.
Science classroom decoration.
Great homeschooling project.
Summer camp art activity.
A great hands-on project for imaginative learning and motor skills.

• Bee-themed party decoration.
It’s great to see how many of my customers use the templates to decorate birthdays, christenings, any other special themed events. Wall decor, hanging decor.

• Just for fun
You don’t really need a “reason” anyway, for those who like to “make by hand”, it’s a great creative activity. I’m not a big fan of criticizing digital tools, but I also really believe in the need to make objects by hand, whether it’s cake decorating, sweater knitting, rag doll sewing, portrait drawing, ceramic mug making, etc. I’m happy if you choose my design for your crafting time.

Many skills can be developed with craft tasks:
Tool use, e.g., cutting with scissors, eye-hand coordination. Understanding and planning processes, organizing work processes. Sizing: scale, proportional enlargement, and reduction. Modeling, understanding structures. It can be said that craft activities greatly develop practical intelligence.

INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ITEM – SVG, PDF files. The files will come in a zipped folder.

Using PDF file:
You will need access to a printer, paper, card, tape, double-sided tape or glue or glue gun, scissors, ruler.

Using SVG files:
Basic knowledge of Cricut software and of using SVG files with it is assumed.
NOTE: If cutting/scoring on a Cricut Maker, once you import the SVG files:
It will come in as a group with subgroups. The top subgroup contains letters and numbers that can be drawn by pen or cut. The 2nd sub-groups are Score/Fold lines and will need to be assigned as Score line under the Operation menu. The bottom subgroup is the cut lines. (The score lines as a group could be assigned with one click; it is not necessary to define each line as a score line independently.)

Recommended paper quality: at least 180-200gsm.

How to use PDF files:
