Aren't our caterpillars cute? They are equally beautiful and easy to make for adults and children. They are an eye-catcher on your windowsill, on flower pots or as table decoration.

This is how the caterpillars are made:
First the terracotta pots are primed Handicraft paint with white. After drying, they can be painted in your desired colours, in our example we used the colour set "Sunny Easter"

Glue on the opening of the large Wooden ball (30mm) with the help of hot glue an 8mm wooden bead as nose. Now you can use a Marker to draw the face. Cut off approx. 20 cm of aluminium from wire and stick it into the second opening of the large ball. After drying, always draw two 15 mm balls and the terracotta pots alternately on the wire. The last Pearl one is fixed with hot glue. The 6 mm balls can be glued to the bottom of the terracotta pots as "little legs". Additionally a straw hat or feeler can be glued on. The wire makes the caterpillars wonderfully mobile and they can be bent as desired and "crawl down" from flower pots and window sills.
