From geology to flora and fauna and beyond, the natural world is an endless source of inspiration for makers of all sorts. Of course this includes insects, too. I’ve found just some of the many ways Lettuce Crafters have created wearable bugs! It seems like once a crafter has been bitten by the insect bug, they might take that love to a few different mediums.
The biggest category of buggy wearables is jewelry!
