Make the Leaf

Fold a strip of green craft paper, draw half a leaf outline, and cut it out. Open the folded paper to reveal the leaf and create neat folds along the centre to form veins.

Prepare the Stem and Body Base

Roll paper around a paper straw and secure it using Fevistik Power to make the stem. Roll another short paper tube for the caterpillar body and gather the paper to create a wrinkled texture.

Paint the Parts

Paint the stem green and decorate the caterpillar body using Rangeela Tempera Colours with yellow, green, white, and black details. Allow the painted pieces to dry completely.

Shape the Caterpillar

Gently bend the painted caterpillar body into a curved shape to give it a crawling appearance. Keep the body slightly raised for a realistic look.

Assemble the Craft

Stick the short paper tube onto the stem using Fevistik Power. Attach the caterpillar onto the tube and fix the folded paper leaf behind it with Fevistik Power.

Finish the Craft

Adjust the caterpillar and leaf neatly to complete the arrangement. Your colourful caterpillar craft is now ready to display!
