Grape and Edamame Caterpillars

These little caterpillar decorations are easy to make. You can use wire or toothpicks to hold them together. If you use wire, you can make them slither around. So fun!

I upcycled a bunch of grocery ties to get my wires. As these have wires and toothpicks inside, they are meant to be decorative, or as an adult snack.

Supplies:

thin wire
toothpicks
grapes
cooked edamame
black sesame seeds

Steps:

If you're using grocery ties like I did, strip the paper off them.

Curl one end of the wire.

Skewer some grapes onto the wire.

When you get near the end of the wire, create a tongue shape, pushing the wire back into the last grape.

Use a toothpick to poke eye sockets into the head, then put a black sesame seed into each hole. Add a seed onto the tongue area, if desired.

If you're not using wires to make the caterpillar bodies, use toothpicks or wooden skewers.
