I have changed my mind on my hand sewing project. Instead of making a blanket, like I had originally planned, I have decided to make a puppet mouth with the fabric instead. I have finished hand sewing the first part of the puppet's mouth. #handsewing. #puppets. #makingpuppets. #DIYproject.
I made this puppet out of random trash with a friend…His name is Harry #puppet #puppetmaker #creativearts #makingpuppets #recycle
two puppet heads. The one on the left is pink and the one on the right is green.
Making progress on my puppet heads! I covered one in fleece to try out the technique and ran into some problems. Still figuring out how to make the invisible baseball stitch on the seam. But progress! #puppets #makingpuppets
Mouth piece glued in and cut to fit. Next step is covering this head in fleece for skin. This puppet is coming out a bit too small but going to finish it off so I can see how this pattern works. Hot glue is working out but it is sooo messy! #makingpuppets #puppetcrafting #puppets
A table full of bits of foam, scissors, and cardboard in different shapes. A puppet in progress with a foam head and then the bits of making a mouth plate to be attached
This is the process of making my first puppet after learning a few techniques. You can see in the middle is the beginning of a mouth plate. More videos to come for how that came out! #puppetcrafting #puppets #makingpuppets #puppet

This book is amazing! Learning so much about foam! I knew a lot about fur but still a newbie with foam sculpting. I had no idea you could make patterns this way! #marymcclung #foamsculpture #makingpuppets
