Find some smooth river stones, or a bowling ball,…or anything round and ”buggy’ and you too can make a garden ladybug. Easy project!
Take a peek at these easy projects and then we’ll show you how to make some of your own.
Kirk Willis says, “One year, my daughter got the idea to paint lady bug rocks! She gathered rocks from our property and couldn’t stop until she painted a HERD of ladybugs! Aren’t they the cutest? She placed them in a corner of her swing set area. My creative daughter! I’m so proud of her!”

Mary Everett says, “I made this for my front porch, the younger kiddos enjoy playing a game of Tic Tac Toe with Grandpop. They’re just painted and sealed rocks and I used a small table I had on hand. Too easy and lots of fun.”
Outdoor projects need outdoor paint like this:
Jeanie Merritt says, “In the ‘Something as Simple As That’ category… A lady bug kitchen scrubbie holder, purchased at a yard sale last year for, I believe, a mere 10 cents, looks right at home in my beautiful, vibrant sedums… an accent of color. I just turned the hole for the scrubbie around to the other side…Viola!”
Lisa Wilson For this ladybug dish flower, I used GE silicone II weatherproof..just glue around the edge..let dry a couple days. Everything I’ve made has held up all winter, but if your masterpiece holds water put it in the garage.
“I attached it this way…,” Lisa says, “with a flattened a serving spoon with a hammer and bent back and glued the spoon part to the plate..make sense? The handle fits into pole.”
