Jake,

Look great for the first attempt. Maybe work on a consistent size as well as putting in a contrasting color strand of yarn in the black. Think about different colors you would see on a black bug. Red, purple , brown etc.

Your well on your way. Good job!

Steve

I agree with above poster. That black with peach colored dots or with red dots would be A#1. Use your black yarn but add a strip of peach, red, cerise, or chartreuse yarn so when you trim it, it looks like a dot in the black.

Good job!

what also makes these look really good is if you LIGHTY touch the yarn with a lighter so that the ends of the yarn cring just a little bit
