Willie, one of our first TURTLE loom customers, challenged me about a snail this morning (read more about it on the blog).

Here are the instructions on making your own snail in a jiffy:

• You will need any 1 hexagon for the body, and any 2 hexagons for the shell.
• Any size hexagons will work, I used leftover hexagons that I had woven on the Original TURTLE Loom.
• Sew the three hexagons together to form a row as pictured.
• Fold the row, wrong sides facing, then sew along all sides, leaving the last side (blue) open.
• Gently stuff the “shell”.
• Sew through both layers of fabric, between the “shell” and the “body”, to shape the shell.
• Stuff the “body” and close the remaining side.
• Press the “shell” down unto the “body”, into desired position, then secure the desired “shell” position with a few invisible stitches. - For each “eye”, cut a yarn string of about 10”, fold in half.
• With a crochet hook, pull the loop through a couple of strands on one side of the “head” (either end) as shown.
• Crochet 5-6 chain stitches, pull the yarn through the last stitch and pull tight. Clip the ends.
• Repeat for second “eye”. 
• Weave in any ends.
• Optional: embroider spirals onto the shell.
