  • Step 1Begin by placing one stocking piece directly inside another. This will add strength and colour to your project.
  • Step 2Tie a knot in the end of the stockings and begin stuffing with wadding. Fill the stockings with wadding until you are happy with the size of your snake’s body. Look to our snake as a size reference or experiment with your own.
  • Step 3Cut a tongue from red felt and place it in the open end of the stocking.
  • Step 4Thread a needle and sew the mouth shut and tongue in place. Once you have secured the tongue in place, tie a knot to complete.
  • Step 5Divide your snake’s body up into segments by wrapping a rubber band around the stocking every 15-20cm.
  • Step 6Complete your snake by placing 2 wiggles eyes on his face. Attach with glue.
