How to make colorful paper caterpillar crafts

What you need:

  • round hole punching machine
  • colored paper
  • glue
  • velvet stick
  • Googly eyes
  • black pencil

Let’s go!

Step by step instructions

Use a hole punch to punch out a series of circles and fold the circles in half.

We use 7 circles to form a ball.

Feel free to use more if you want.

Apply a little glue to one side of the two halves of the paper.

Glue the two halves of the paper together.

Connect the two ends together and you will have a ball.

Make 6 more colorful balls.

Take a cotton swab and make a small hook at one end.

Start threading the colorful balls onto the cotton swabs.

This is what your project looks like now.

Wrap the other end of the cotton swab around itself to hold the balls in place so they don’t fall out.

Punch out a circle and attach a fake eye.

Draw the caterpillar’s mouth.

Punch out a few more circles.

Apply a little glue to each piece, stick them together, then attach the face up.

Attach the caterpillar head to the body.

Done!
