The head is assembled the same way as the legs.



For my creeper I decided to embroider on the face. This part could be difficult for beginners who might prefer just to stitch on some black patches in the shape of the eyes and mouth. A third, even simpler option would be to use fabric glue, which you could probably purchase wherever you found your fabric.



Patching the face

I'm afraid I don't have pictures but hopefully this will explain it.



Start by drawing out the outline of the face on the black fabric (it could be difficult to see on black, be sure you will be able to spot your line while you work). Cut around the shapes of the eyes and mouth leaving about a half-inch to a fourth-inch space between the cut edge and the line you drew. Fold in the edges along the lines. If your marker will clean off easily or is camouflaged by the black fabric, fold with the lines on the outside. If the lines will show, fold with them inside.



With the edges folded in, this is what the patch will look like on the front of the head.



Arrange the patches on the face of your head cube and pin them down. Be sure to pin the folds in place while you are pinning the whole patch to the head. Now you should easily be able to perform a slip stitch between the folded edges (along the line if you can see it) and the green fabric directly below it. When you are done there should be no loose fabric edges sticking out and hopefully no visible stitching.



Embroidering the face

If you are feeling adventurous enough, get yourself some embroidery thread and a needle.



Start by mapping out the face on one side of the cube.



Embroidery works best when the fabric is stretched out as you work on it. Had I thought ahead I probably would have added the face before I even cut out the pieces. What I wound up doing instead was rig up a cardboard frame to hold the face taut from the inside.



To ready your needle, cut a length of embroidery thread. It usually comes as six or so threads bunched together. Separate one or two of these threads and use them to thread your needle. An embroidery needle is a special needle with a larger eye to accommodate the extra thread.



Starting from the inside of the head, feed the needle out at the top of the eye and back in at the bottom, trailing the thread down the outside. Poke the needle back out along the line right next to where the thread goes in at the bottom of the eye, sticking it back in at the top, next to where the thread comes out. Repeat working your way down the eye until the eye is properly filled in. Tie off the thread on the inside of the head. Make sure not to pull the thread too tight or your face will wind up scrunched up.



Do the same to fill in the other eye and mouth. This will take some patience and a steady hand.



When the head is ready, stuff it with fiberfill and close it up as you did with the legs.
