 Step One :

Pick the colour Pom Pom of you choice and Glue Googly eyes using a hot glue gun,

Dont feel safe using a hot glue gun there are other alternatives such as ;double side tape or peeling googly eyes.

I chose the colour red. But feel free to pick a different colour.

Step 2:  

Chose various colours to make the body of your Pom Pom Caterpillar.

The Amount Of Pom Poms  you  want to use determines the size of your caterpillar in the end.

The Length of you wire also determines your preference of length of your pom pom caterpillar.

2.Start off by  Poking the Top part of you wire through the head of your pom pom caterpillar (So the pom pom with googly eyes )

Step 5: 

1.Be creative 

2.Use different craft items such as ribbons , colour foam  to add more character to you pom pom caterpillar . 

I cut a piece of ribbon and wrapped it around the caterpillars head .

I held it in place with a glue gun like showned in pictures. You can make bow ties , hair bows , Glasses anything you would like .

Just have fun and be creative.
