Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template
Free Paper Chain Craft: Caterpillar
Four long strips, four loops, one round head: cut straight, glue each loop at its printed glue point and build a caterpillar.
Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.
The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.
A complete first craft from Paper Chain Creatures.
Every strip is drawn at real size with its glue point printed at one end.
What the free template includes
- A long straight-track warm-up
- Four strips and a head at true size
- A printed glue point on every strip
- A drawing of the finished caterpillar
- A low-ink cut sheet
Strips into loops
Curl a strip and lay the plain end over the hatched glue point: every loop comes out the same size.
The full pack
A little dragon with a horned head, and a linked party chain with stripes, stars and dots.
