Strengthen Paper for Wings and Antenna
In this step we are going to create the paper form which the
wings and antenna for the bee will be made. our antenna and
wings should have some structural strength for that we need
to Take three A4-sized papers and after gluing them together,
gently iron them to stiffen. This ensures the wings and antenna
look neat and hold shape well. Then draw a grid of 0.5cm*0.5cm
