Directions
Cut egg carton in halves by length
While paint dries out, prepare legs:
Cut pipe cleaner in halves, string pony beads on the ends, curl to secure
Turn your caterpillar-to-be over, hotglue legs across the body, shape them so caterpillar stands, not floats
Hotglue eyes, nose, mouth
Draw eyelashes, brows, freckles J (and mouth, if you didn’t use pipe cleaner for it)

You can also add ‘crown’ (we used 3-D flower bead, or prepare paper crown and glue it to head)
Voila!
