zombie friend?

Who doesn't like friends? Okay, so zombies aren't the greatest of friends, but just look at that gentle soul behind those button eyes.

Thanks for the awesome idea! This was a fantastic way to spend my afternoon. I could only find a black glove in my closet so I decided to make a little Ninja Plushie. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, thanks for the great instructable!

I LOVE YOUR ZOMBIE FRIENDS!! I have about 20 "left over" gloves from my preschool class...now that it is (almost) spring, I know just what to make with the gloves! I'll send pics when I make some. What a super fun and super quick idea. Thank you!!

I had a go at making my own out of an old glove I found, over Halloween. However instead of cutting off the thumb, I instead left it and turned it inside out, so it created a sort of damaged eye socket for the small eye. The darken eyes, were done with permanent marker and a safety pin above the eye. Giving the little critter an overall menacing effect. Thanks for the creative idea for this project.

Hi, I continued on your zombie friends and made cyborg zombies. I have made an Instructable on them: cyborg zombies feeding on “dead” batteries

Those are great! Thanks for the link!

Jan 2, 2009. 2:35 PMIridium7 says:

would yarn work for thread?

Jan 6, 2009. 3:34 PMPoe-tate-o (author) says:

As long as the knit isn't too tight it should work.

I really love this little guy. He is so well conceived and executed. The look on his face is perfect. You even installed the correct emotions! I sent a link to my niece (but I'll probably make one too!)

Thanks!

I made them with my students and they loved it! thanks a million. Any other clever Ideas?

Sep 20, 2008. 4:18 PMmg0930mg says:

Cool, may have to do this. lol.

Sep 20, 2008. 4:27 PMmg0930mg says:

A few ideas. Possibly, instead of using the thread thats close to your glove use the black, and it looks like you put a severed arm back on. :) Another thing, You could just cut off one arm, right? Also, around the head, could you singe it with a lighter, to look blackened, and burnt? Hmmm...Anyway, great job.

Sep 20, 2008. 4:55 PMPoe-tate-o (author) says:

Thanks for the good input. I was think of making one with the two center fingers removed which would make the arms the legs. And then using the pieces I cut off as arms. That way I could make the arms more misaligned.

Sep 21, 2008. 11:00 AMmg0930mg says:

Nice! Well, now i need to find an old glove.

Sep 21, 2008. 3:07 PMmg0930mg says:

Here is my version. I followed all of your instructions, and then I took a lighter and gave it an uneven burn to the tops. For the eyes, I used a jean button, and a khacki shorts button. I am going to give it to my dad's girlfriend for her birthday, hopefully she likes it.
