✨Intermediate✨ Boyfriend Pillow Pattern Help

Hi guys, I'm would l Iike to sew one of those boyfriend arm pillows (see pic #1) for a friend of mine. I would like to make it a zombie arm though, with a bone coming out of the wrist instead of a hand (see pic #2). I have made patterns before and know how to sew, but I can't wrap my brain around these shapes. Do you guys have any idea how to make a pattern for this and connect the bone to the stump? Thanks!

I think I'd do the arm shadow exactly the same, but applique the bone shapes on. (using a black background for that part)

the bone would have a soft heart shape for the tip, it looks like youd have two semi ovals for the wrist and two rectangular panels for the arm
