Procedure:

1. Unbend all of the paperclips so they are a U shape. Stick the two points of each paperclip into the foam piece. The rounded parts of the paperclips will be the feet of the Jitterbug. Consider if you want your Jitterbug to be an insect (6 legs), arachnid (8 legs) or some new species! Feel free to alter the legs and feet, for the terrain that you plan on subjecting your Jitterbug to.
