Wrap both under box and the lid separetely with tissue paper (you can use 2 different colors but they still better be matching 🙂

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
