Steps:
![Step 1](https://static.crayola.ca/uploads/DIY-Terrarium-Step-1.jpg)
Make a ladybug for inside the terrarium. Roll 1 large and medium ball of clay, then connect to make the body and head. Roll 2 small balls of clay for the eyes, flatten, then connect them to the medium ball.

Using a chenille stem, poke 2 holes in the medium ball of clay. Dry overnight.

Set the ladybug on a disposable plate, then paint the large and medium balls red with paint brush. Dry 1–2 hours.

With blue glitter glue, make spots across the body. Put 2 dots on small clay balls for eyes. Dry 3–4 hours.
