AdventurerKatziChestnuts are fascinating for children! "Now let's fill the belly of the snake with the chestnuts, because they are especially hungry today?!"
I'll show you how you can easily sew such a chestnut snake!

Cut fabric.
I cut off a strip of fabric from an old shirt sleeve. (You don't have to buy a new fabric!) approx. 14 cm x 50 cm (You can choose the length as you like!)
On both short sides a hem is now wrapped (doubt of fabric overturn) and sewn firmly!
Now double the tape for the tongue and sew it together.
At the top, take a tack to get a split tongue - just like a real snake!
Now you sew the tongue on the short side of the body.
Then you put the buttons ready.
Sew the two buttons on the fabric as eyes behind the tongue.
Attention: Sew on the buttons before the fabric is sewn together!
Now you halve the fabric in length and turn it to the left side. The beautiful outside of your sleeve/cloth is now inside.
Sew the fabric strip to a hose on the long side!
Then switch to the zigzag stitch of the sewing machine and line the sewn seam.
The hose remains open at the top and bottom end.
Now the hose is turned over!
A push button is now attached to both open ends, which will give you the opportunity to plug the chestnuts in on one side and let them out on the other side.
To attach a push-button you need these parts.
Stitch a hole in the fabric with the pickser.
Now insert the tip part from the outside to the inside.
Now put the counterpart on it from the inside.
Now press with the pliers.
The first push button is ready.
Opposite you place the counterpart. For this first put the pointed part from the outside through the fabric.
Then put the counterpart on it and squeeze back with the pliers.
The push button can now be closed.
The tip of the tongue is still cut. Make sure you keep some distance from the seam!
Now place a push button on the opposite opening of the snake as well. (As already described!)
Now the children can start filling the snake with chestnuts.
Close the opening on the face of the snake, or the chestnuts will slip out of you again.
Have fun playing with the snake!
Attention: Do not let small children play with chestnuts unattended, as the chestnuts are often taken into their mouths!
Good luck!
