Part 12: Assembly – Bringing Your Zombie to Life (Undead)

Sew the mane to the top of the head, following the curve shown in the diagram.
Sew the tail to the back of the body (at the lower end).
Embroider scars on the body using red thread – make irregular, jagged lines like stitches or zombie bites.
Sew the horn to the center of the forehead, between the eyes.
Sew the ears to the top of the head, on either side of the horn.
Attach the eyes:
- Big eye (alive side) – sew to the left side of the face (or right – your choice!)
- Small eye – attach near the chain-space “empty socket” on the other side. The small eye should look droopy or askew for that zombie effect.
Optional: Add more red embroidery around the empty socket or the mouth for extra gruesome charm.
