How to Make a Toy Caterpillar

These make great gifts and desk trinkets too!

(1) You will need:
Multicolored pompoms
Needle & thread
Scissors
Feathers (Optional)

 (1) Double-thread the needle with 2 feet of thread for every 9 pompoms. The extra can be used to make smaller ones.

 Pick 9 medium sized pompoms from the bag for a standard sized caterpillar. (1) Arrange them in the pattern of your choosing.

 (1) String the first pompom onto the thread, this will be the head.(2) Continue adding pompoms. (3) Finished stringing!

Space the pompoms apart a tiny little bit. You want the caterpillar to be loose, but the thread should be hidden. (1) Cut the thread and tie it off with a quadruple knot. *Optional: Cut a feather to the right length and stick it in between the head and the 2nd pompom for a crest!

 (1) All done! (2) Now you can make a whole family! Use 10 large for a big one, or 7 small for a little one.
