How to create a 3D caterpillar craft using a printable template
What you need:
Let’s start!
Step-by-step instructions
Print out the template you like. If you print in black and white, color it.
Parts
Cut out all the pieces – the caterpillar’s body parts, antennae, legs and head.
Body
Fold the corners of each round body part (the part labeled glue).
Grab the glue – it’s glue time!
Add glue to the bent parts.
Start building the caterpillar from left to right.
Paste the first body on the left – into the two spaces on the template.
Continue gluing the remaining three body parts in the same way.
Head
Take the caterpillar’s head and glue the antennae to the back of it.
Finally, glue the head onto the right body.
Feet
Now, take four legs and stick one on each body part.
All has been done! You just created a 3D caterpillar!
