DIY Very Hungry Caterpillar Name Cards 🐛

I always like to make every guest feel extra welcome with a name card. And for my insect-themed party, I knew that I wanted to incorporate the very hungry caterpillar somehow!

These were super simple & straightforward to make so let’s get started:

What you’ll need:

  • Paper: red, light green, dark green, purple, yellow
  • Marker
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

Step 1: Cutting out the shapes

I didn’t use any sort of template for this and just cut out each detail by looking at a photo of the very hungry caterpillar. You’ll just need to cut out a general oval shape for the body, face, eyes & nose.

Step 2: Gluing everything together

I glued everything together on a piece of cardstock paper to give it a sturdy foundation.

Step 3: Attaching the legs

I attached the legs after I cut out the caterpillar because it makes the process much easier. You can use glue but I ended up using tape to secure the legs.

Step 4: Adding the stand

To make the name card stand on its own, I cut out a rectangular piece of cardstock paper and folded the edge, gluing that to the back of the caterpillar.

Step 5: Writing the names

Write your guests’ names with marker and you’re all done! Now you have these cute very hungry caterpillars waiting to welcome each guest 🐛
