IIIINCHWOOORM... IIIINCHWOOORM... MEASURING THE MARIGOLDS... I found the easiest way to make some utterly adorable little caterpillars! Go ahead and stick him on some plants, on your desk, on a bookshelf (he can be a book worm if you draw on some glasses!) or even use him as a cat toy! The possibilities are limitless!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Yarn
  • Scissors
  • Hair Scrunchie
  • Permanent Marker

Steps (15 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

    First of all, get some yarn. You won't need much, don't worry.

  2. 2

    Now get some scissors...

  3. 3

    ...And a permanent marker... (black is preferable but you can use another color if you so choose)

  4. 4

    ...And now the piece de resistance. Some hair scrunchies! I just went to Five Below and snagged a five dollar bag of em, but whatever. If you have one lying around the house, that would work, too.

  5. 5

    You're gonna need scrunchies like this so that their nice and chubby.

  6. 6

    Take a scrunchie (green is probably the best for realism's sake, but if you want a different colored caterpillar, more power to ya)...

  7. 7

    ...cut it once.

  8. 8

    Now you should have a chubby broken scrunchie thingy.

  9. 9

    Cut a little bit of the yarn. About a foot is good.

  10. 10

    Tuck one end of the scrunchie's end under at about a half inch over.

  11. 11

    Tie the tucked end with the yarn.

  12. 12

    Make a cute little bow! Yay! Now caterpillar has a head!

  13. 13

    Cut away excess yarn ends. Yay! Now caterpillar has a nicely groomed head!

  14. 14

    But what about a face? OMG! You'd better draw one on with the permanent marker! Stat!

  15. 15

    Whew! Now he can see how adorable he is!
