Caterpillar Prop Chapter 2




Better late than never, I always say! Here's the caterpillar head that we've been working on. We built up a frame on the hula hoop by overlapping strips of cardboard and very stiff wire. The top photo shows the first four of eight strips to give some dimension to the face.

The next step was to glue a layer of soft foam, an inch in thickness, onto the frame work. Once that step was completed we pinned the fabric directly to the foam(as seen above) that would be the primary color for the caterpillar's skin to see how it looked so far. In our next chapter we'll be adding the features and some more colors to the face while drinking ungodly amounts of coffee and operating heavy machinery. Don't miss our next thrilling chapter of (Imagine an echoing voice saying the title.)"The Case of the Time Sucking Caterpillar " in 3D!!
