- eyes (two matching small shapes)
- body (big, loose-flowing cloth)
- sash (long piece, connect two pieces if needed)
Step 3: Put LEDs Into Eye Shapes

Step 4: Sew Eyes Onto One Side of Head
sew the eyes you cut out in to
Step 5: Sew Negative Path (Connected to Snap on Sash and Battery Holder)
Starting at the eye, sew each negative LED leg, onto the head and then sew onto the sash creating a straight path from the battery holder to the end of the sash and sew on a snap once you get to the end of the sash.
Step 6: Sew Positive Path Into Head and to Other Snap
Get a new piece of conductive thread. Sew it around and around the positive end of the battery holder.
Then keep sewing the path to the middle of the sash.
At that point, start sewing it up into the head (with the eyes in it).
Sew the thread around the POSITIVE legs for both LEDs.
Finish the path by making an X and tying a knot.
