In my book, this is an oldie but goodie!

You’ll need:

• old tie
• buttons for eyes
• ribbon for tongue
• sewing thread and needle
• filler; such as beans, rice, or polyfill

First sew the eyes onto the fat end of the tie (being sure to leave an opening for the filling). Fill the tie – not too full or it will only lay straight! Think about adding some bells or other rattling objects first into the skinny end to make a rattle snake! Pin or hold the tongue in place and sew closed the opening. This is an easy craft for beginning sewers.
