Top Tip
Try not to add two buttons the same colour next to each other.
How to Make



- Push the end of a pipe cleaner through the hole in the centre of a button, then push the button until it is approximately three inches away from the end.
- Repeat step 1 with more colourful buttons until the caterpillar is the length that you would like it to be. Add a large button to the end, this will be the caterpillar's face.
- Push the end of the pipe cleaner back through one of the hole in the large button, then twist and trim it.
- Add a split metal keyring to the other end of the pipe cleaner, and wrap the pipe cleaner around it to hold it in place.
- Stick two wiggle eyes to the large button, and use a black pen to draw a smile underneath the eyes.
- Cut two pieces of pipe cleaner about two inches long and curl the end. Then stick them to the top of the caterpillar's face.
