Yes, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Sorry, no. I only have the pattern seen at the top of this thread with the article from woman's say that it accompanied. If you're looking for a round head pattern, you could check the forum, I'm pretty sure someone named Adam did a video on making a round headed puppet based off of a...

PM me your email address and I can email you the pdf file.

Thank you! The felt is all worn off but I bet I could spruce it up, at first I thought it was ripped but there were pieces of felt hanging in the throat which did seem like they originally connected to the mouth plates.

I've been repairing some vintage puppets I got online, specifically cookie monster and Grover. The cookie monster has a gap in his mouth, is that from wear or was it designed that way originally to accommodate a cookie? Either way I may leave him that way because then he can "eat". I sewed...

I'm not sure how you'd do this with a stuffed toy but I've had great success soaking an old yellowed toy in hydrogen peroxide and leaving it in the sun. I read about it on legos and tried it on an old toy I had and it worked, you have to fully submerge the plastic and it only works where the...

Mikey, I'm really impressed by your test photo to try to replicate the count in the box. Keep in mind though that this seller could have heavily photoshopped a box and has no intention of actually sending the end user the goods. I'm sure that happens on ebay, as unscrupulous as it seems. I...

Looks like the site I downloaded it from, puppet buzz, is no longer hosting the files. If you'd like a copy please send me a PM with your email address and I can email it to you.

Hi, there's no foam in this pattern, it's for a small child puppet, so depending on your hand size you may want to enlarge it. This is also missing the body. Do you have the pattern with instructions? I will try to find it for you.

I'm impressed, especially because you said you had to learn how to use a sewing machine to make this. Great work!

Finally got a chance to post a photo of my cookie monster so I thought I'd share all 3 puppets I have made. I hope you enjoy! If anyone is interested I also have a little tutorial of how I created the Mahna Mahna's eyes on Flickr (https://flic.kr/p/qeDzm2 start here and click to the left)...

Oh man, I love Toy Story too! They seem to have a lot of great themes! If I'm not mistaken they did something with Heidi Kinney of My Paper Crane too!

I sure wish I could get this stuff in the us!

Try searching you tube for Adam Kreutinger. He has a tutorial on making a half sphere and shaping fabric on it.

Sorry I may have accidentally reported your post while trying to access the link. I'm not really a puppet builder, mostly I follow patterns but my thought is that the head is almost like a sock puppet with the head part where the eyes are is built up with foam. I think a lot of the shaping...
