Now lets get going....
(first off...Fray Check all your raw ribbon edges)
I used 3/8" grosgrain ribbon. Cutting it at various lengths.
First Ribbon: 4 inches
Second Ribbon: 3 inches
Third Ribbon: 2 inches
Fourth Ribbon: 1 inch
Take your smallest piece (1 inch) and cut the edges off (fray check these pieces). These will be your future Antennae

Take your longest ribbon and loop it around so both edges meet up (see below picture)
Then glue this together. Repeat the above 3 pictures for your smaller (3 inch ribbon)
Lay the smaller loop inside your larger loop and glue together
Take your two inch piece and glue it onto your loops. Wrapping the edges around as seen below....

Place your antennae on the bug

Personal preference, but I like my antenna shorter, so I trim them.
Now grab your ribbon spool and glue ribbon around the edges of your clip. Hold the ribbon tight.
measure how long you need it to wrap around to the inside and then cut the end and glue it around and down.
