Potted plant decoration - Silly Bee

I created this plant decorations to add a bit of color to my plants, which bloom but only occasionally. For the rest of the year when they are just green :) I like to make them more interesting.
Silly Bee is the first one of my "Potted Plant Decoration" series. Please see the pictures below for the sneak peek of other members of this family.

Materials:

• black, blue, yellow  yarn ( I use the yarn which gauge is 24.0 to 30.0 sts = 4 inches )
• hook 3 mm
• white sheet of foam (mine is 1 mm thick) for eyes
• 2 black beads ( 4 mm would be best)
• clothes pin - the best would be the smaller version - 3 cm 
• hot glue gun
• cotton or something else You will use as filament
