Instructions to Make Stuffed White Snake Pattern
Step 1: Draw a long snake's body on the wrong side of the white fabric, using a marker. The body should be the broadest at the head and should taper down gradually, so it is just a point on the tail side.
Step 2: Cut two such pieces, leaving 1\4" for the seam.
Step 3: Place the two pieces on top of each other (the wrong sides out) and cut a small 'V' at the broader end.
Step 4: Now, start stitching the wrong sides of the fabric together, leaving the tail end unstitched.
Step 5: Turn the fabric inside out and fill the snake's head with polyester fiberfill. Use the stick to stuff it properly. Now, glue black beads on top of the head to make the snakes eyes. Cut out a forked tongue from the red imitation leather and glue it inside the snake's mouth.
Step 6: Fill the remaining body of the snake with plastic pellets and sew the tail end as well.
Step 7: Draw the scales of the snake using a silver glitter pen on the upper part of its body. If you wish to give the scales a realistic touch use square silver-colored sequins for the same. This is more time consuming, but looks better.
