Making Grape and Edamame Caterpillars

Supplies:

• thin wire
• toothpicks
• grapes
• cooked edamame
• black sesame seeds

Steps:

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

 
2. Curl one end of the wire.

 
3. Skewer some grapes onto the wire.

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

5. 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.

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

Ha, these are adorable. I didn't have any edamane in the house so I used cooked lima beans instead and they were so.o.o. cute !!

I think I'll try red kidney beans too and use white sesame seeds for the eyes.
