The spring-loaded bees were inspired by the Action Wobbles that were pretty popular a couple years ago. While these bees don’t so much wobble and bounce, For an actual wiggle I think cutting pieces of a plastic coil bracelet (the stretchy ones you can use to keep your keys on your wrist) and securing them with a heavier adhesive. I might have to experiment with that another time!
Now, where to next? Hopefully you came from Martha’s site and you’re on your way to Kerry’s. If not, why not hop back to the beginning and see what the other designers came up with for this blog hop?!

I knew I should have bought those shadow boxes that were on
sale at Joann’s. They would have worked great for this idea.
