Steps
-
Draw a circular pattern on one section of the foam and cut away around the pattern with the turkey carver.
-
Cut a hole for the mouth and in the neck, , which is where your hand will go.
- You can also cut away the nose and create a different, more pronounced one later.
- Cut eye sockets as well.
-
If you'd like your puppet's jaw to move more freely, entirely cut away a jaw section.
-
Apply the skin.
- If you cut off the nose earlier, apply the nose after you put the skin on. Cover the nose with fleece after you apply it.
- Use the fleece to hold the jaw onto the face.
-
Add the bottlecap eyes.
-
Add some hair using the glue gun.
-
You can use a hat instead of hair if you'd like.
-
-
For the upper body, using a t-shirt and a button up shirt over it gives the body some strength.
- You can also add ears, eyebrows, mustache or anything else you want your puppet to have. Maybe an eye patch!?
-
Lay your hand on a piece of fleece (make sure to put fingers together or apart depending upon how many fingers you want the puppet to have.
