You can make lovely bugs and beetles using old magazine paper and a scissors. These bugs have been designed by Sri Sastry. Take a square paper and fold it into half. First draw just half the insect on the paper. Draw its head, front legs, antennae, the main wing, rear legs and finally its tail. Then cut along these lines with a sharp scissors. First cut the head, then the antenna, the front legs and continue on. Finally cut the main wing, the rear legs and then the tail.
Mark two dots for the eyes and then make the bug stand up. Doesn’t it look pretty? You can also shape the legs to make it more realistic. Finally take an old magazine paper. Papers with tints or designs make very nice insects. Fold the paper in half and straightaway start cutting the insect. First cut the head, then antennae, the front legs, main wing, rear legs and then the tail. This is the sequence. The finished model will be a beautiful sky-blue bug with two shining eyes. 
Finally make a whole museum of insects using different colored magazine papers. Some papers will make nice beetles, others will make wonderful bugs, and still some make beautiful cockroaches. All these beautiful bugs from throwaway magazine paper! This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
