Caterpillar

Use a new craft material, pom beads, to turn laces into caterpillars. Pom beads are fuzzy pom-poms that can be used like beads.

• Shoelaces
• 12 pom beads
• Wiggle eyes
• Chenille stem
• Glue

1. String 2 pom beads onto both ends of each shoelace.

2. Glue 2 wiggle eyes on one end of pom beads of each lace. This is the caterpillar head.

3. Curl a 2-inch piece of chenille stem around a pencil. Twist the curled stem between the head of the caterpillar and the pom bead next to it as the caterpillar's antennae. Tie laces into bow, drawing the pom beads together to form caterpillar.
