Hungry Caterpillar Crayon Art.

I forgot to put this in the Caterpillar room!

It's as simple as it seems. Glue gun crayons to the canvas, melt with heat gun (or hair dryer, but heat gun works better), cut out and glue on pictures from a dollar store greeting card!

DIY Hungry Caterpillar Room.

I've been wanting to decorate my son's room with a Hungry Caterpillar theme since I made him a Hungry Caterpillar quilt almost a year ago. I finally got around to it!

View from the door.

Made with a cheap poster frame (plastic), and a bulletin board set from Scholar's Choice.

Made with a greeting card from Chapter's, and stickers from Walmart.

The border is a bulletin board border from Scholar's Choice, the pictures go with the bulletin board set from Scholar's Choice, and the hanging butterfly is a hand puppet. Let the wall damage under the pictures be a lesson to you, do NOT use mounting tape on your walls! I didn't bother plastering, as I wanted to get this done, but I see a lot of plastering in my future the next time I pick a new theme for his room!

Little reading nook. The pillows are made with Eric Carle fabric from the Eric Carle Museum, and I cut pillows in half to fit in the pillow cases I made. The big caterpillar actually comes with a blanket in it, but I forget the company name. Please excuse the state of the rug, I took photos before vacuuming! 

Self-explanatory what I did here. I did use 2 shades of acrylic green paint, and green glitter paint for the green letters, if you're curious. (Every time I redo his room, which is a lot, I repaint these letters.)

A collage made with the rest of the bulletin board set from Scholar's Choice. It was in a really nice looking frame, but before I took a picture, we heard a crash and shatter. It is now frame-less. My husband just informed me that the poster itself has just fallen off the wall. I guess I need something other than the free Scotch document mounting squares!

Ikea toy box (which also gets repainted whenever the room changes), and a postcard glued on. This box is strong, my 43 pound son stands on it daily.

The quilt and pillow I made. Not going to lie, this quilt took several hundred hours to make. I hand traced, cut, and sewed all of those circles (a few times, they're ironed on then sewed!) There are about 1,000 of them. It took MANY lunch hours. If you're inclined to make this, may I suggest the lovely Eric Carle material :). The pillow is just a cover for our old nursing pillow that my son sleeps on. It was very easy to make.

I ran out of paint before I got to the cupboard doors, but I decided I like it two-toned :). The back of the room door is also blue.

The curtains are an $8 shower curtain cut into 3 pieces.

The longest wall.

Butterfly! He keeps asking me to take it down so he can sleep with it. I said I would try to figure out a way to get it so it can come down. He suggested scissors.

For the outside of his door. (Another thing that gets repainted often).

Wash cloth caterpillar was $3 at Winnner's, and the box is from a set of dishes given to him by his Aunt.

Of course, it took all of 3 minutes for Batman to make an appearance :).
