This is not exact; the size of your eyebrows will depend on the size of your buttons. Larger buttons will need larger eyebrows, while smaller ones will need smaller eyebrows. The best way to tell is to chain until you find the length you are happy with; the pattern will stay the same. adjust this accordingly.
Assembly –
Attach the head and the tip of the cone together, this is your body. It’s easier if you push the tip of the cone inwards slightly, this is not necessary though.Sew the cloak top around the back of the neck on the Mindflayer.
Sew the arms on each side of the Mindflayer body, they look best up closer to the neck.
Attack the eyebrows, this is tricky, but place this like eyelids on top of the button eyes. It should look like a deep double eyelid.
Attach the square base for the tentacles. On top of this square, place and pin your three tentacles in a line, sew them on either one at a time, or attempt all at once, it’s up to you!
Here is your finised product!
