Wrap a tight base of thread. Wind lead on in tight wraps, almost filling the shank.
Dub a spiky body using the rabbit fur. If it does not look like this, using a dubbing brush to scruff it up.
Using sharp scissors, trim the fur as short as you can on the top only.
This recipe is compliments of Rob O'Reily.
Add a couple of drops of super glue near the middle of the white fur body and apply the eye. Pinch the eye down onto the body for about 30 seconds, or until the glue sets.
Use the red marker to create the blood spots, but not too many. I colored the tips of the white rabbit guard hairs as well.
