Our Ovalette frames take on a new job as the end caps to a roomy spa for visiting bugs! This simple project will leave plenty of time for the hunt!

• 1 Ovalettes #30044* Mixed Nuts
  *set of 3 ovals, one extra for a trophy photo of your favorite Bug Hunter!
  
• One sheet of fun foam-
  12" X 18"
  
• Foam glue
  
• Stapler
  
• One piece of vinyl window screen- 13 1/2" x 6"
  (could use plastic canvas)
  
• One Pipe cleaner, cut in half

Prep: Punch out and color images onto the ovalettes. Suggestion: The center small oval is the bug door, you can make this a small bug (lady bug, spider, caterpillar) and the outer ring its environment; make the center an apple and the surrounding ring a caterpillar. Think of themes, such as a bug house, island, hotel or observatory.

To make door handles, slide pipe cleaner through the side fluting of the small oval and twist ends to make a loop. Do it to both ovals.

To make foam frame, fold foam sheet in half and cut, making two 6" x 18" rectangles. Fold this in half, creating a 6" x 9" rectangle and make 3 cuts (refer to fig. 1), approximately 5/8" away from edge. Open up to find a frame. Save center rectangle for decorations on bug box.

Assembly: Center screen in foam frame. Run glue around entire perimeter of foam frame and over screening. (refer to Fig. 2) Center colored ovalettes on their long sides*, the edge of the ovalette, lined up with the foam frame edge. (The foam covers the cardboard edge.) First fold up screening and dab a bit of glue to hold it in place. Bring up foam handles, matching sides. Staple handles where foam meets at cardboard and across handle top.
