Put both the snake body pieces on top of each other and position the fold of 'V' inside the snake's head to make the mouth of the snake

Pinch the head portion of the snake in your fingers tightly and turn the snake to place the wrong sides of snake together.

Stitch the head of the snake together on the wrong side of the fabric and also the body of the snake, leaving the tail open for about an inch.
