I use the foot part as containment for all the old dryer sheests that I stuff them with. I like the idea of having a liner in there because I have put some holes in the outer layer to emulate rotting flesh. My kids get such a kick out of this project, even after 5 months or so. We have an old tin of mismatched buttons which we use for eyes, and I stitch them on loosely and wrap the thread in the back so that the eye is hanging off. It's awesome.

Nex one will be a video response.

@thedoodlepro sweet, can't wait!

I have seen your videos on the make magazine page, so I figured I would take a look. I love this idea, I made this one with my 6 year old daughter and we had lots of fun with it. I decided to stuff mine with old dryer sheets, and I keep it in my undies drawer, it's softer than plastic grocery bagfs (which I no longer use) and it keeps my drawer smelling fresh. When more sheets accumilate, I'm sure we'll make more.

@siriwazhere the heel becomes the face, you don't use the foot part. Or you could, make it your own!

Oh man, your zombie voice at the end there was way too adorable. I love this project. I need to stop watching your videos on my day off, it gives me horribly awesome ideas for hordes of plushies!

man these videos kinda suck. they go on a thousand miles per hour. Way too short to be of actual help. Good for giving you ideas but not as DIY .. meh!
