Got a kiddo who is Very Hungry for Halloween candy? Your little crawler is guaranteed to look adorable this Halloween in our DIY Caterpillar costume!

For the antennae:
- Cut two matching sets of antennae with a little bulb at the end from purple felt.
- Twist a couple pipe cleaners together for each antenna and sandwich it in-between the felt and glue together.
- Attach to your beanie with safety pins.
