Step 7
Apply the face. Use the face pattern to trace and cut a face from the felt fabric. Use fabric glue to glue the felt Creeper face centered on one of the head sides.
Step 8
Create the cubes. Gather the six pieces for the Creeper body: 2 sides, 2 front/back, and 2 top/bottom. Assemble the pieces into one complete body. Make sure the sides are sewn around the bottom piece with the top added last. Use the thread tails and the yarn needle to stitch the sides using a whipstitch.
Step 9
Finish the remaining pieces. Repeat step 2 with the head and feet pieces. When finished, you should have 1 head, 1 body, and 4 feet assembled.
Step 10
Attach the head. Center the head on top of the body and stitch it in place around the top edge of the body.
Step 11
Sew the feet. Align the top edge of the feet with the bottom edge of the body. Sew two in a row on the front of the body and two in a row on the back. For extra stability, sew the feet in place where they meet the front of the body and again where they meet the underside of the body.
Step 12
Make the toes. Using the black yarn, stitch several big whip stitches along the bottom edge of the feet to create toes.
