IIIINCHWOOORM... IIIINCHWOOORM... MEASURING THE MARIGOLDS... I found the easiest way to make some utterly adorable little caterpillars!

Instructions

  1. Small 10163

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

  2. Small 10164

    Now get some scissors...

  3. Small 10165

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

  4. Small 10166

    ...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. Small 10167

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

  6. Small 10168

    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. Small 10169

    ...cut it once.

  8. Small 10170

    Now you should have a chubby broken scrunchie thingy.

  9. Small 10171

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

  10. Small 10172

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

  11. Small 10173

    Tie the tucked end with the yarn.

  12. Small 10174

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

  13. Small 10175

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

  14. Small 10176

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

  15. Small 10177

    Whew! Now he can see how adorable he is!
