Caterpillar Maarten van Gelder  1984 Dec

Use a strip of paper 8 x 1 (24 x 3 inch or 20 x 2.5 inch will do),
both sides same color. Shorter than 8 x 1 is possible, but not as nice.
You may first try with a strip of 3 x 1. The diagrams are drawn as if folded of
a 3 x 1 strip. Only the finished model is drawn as if folded from a 8 x 1 strip.
