FIT CLAWS OVER “ARMS”
A devilish red sock suits this villain. Turn it inside out. Cut off the
rib and the toe. Sew two 4″ seams, about 1″ apart (Figure 1). Cut out
the material between the seams. Turn sock right side out. Cut off a
piece of the toe, stuff lightly and sew between the “arms” for a head.
Attach two 1″ lengths of red pipe cleaner to the top of the head for
“eye stalks.” Add small bright buttons or beads to the tips. Use a long
plastic thong for the feelers. Push the thong through the head (Figure
2). From stiff cardboard cut out two claws and paint red. Stuff about 1″
of the “arms” and sew the claws to the stuffed ends. Add four bent red
pipe cleaners to each side of the body for legs (Figure 3). To operate,
use forefinger and little finger to move the “arms.”
