Homemade Puppets

Yes DEF keep us updated. These are amazing!
Also, can you please post the site that sells teh foam blocks? Wal mart used to sell them for $10-$15 (2 different sizes) but no longer carry them, which is a let down

Have you ever used Walmart's "Full Fleece"? I'm new at this, so I apologize for my stupidity, but I hear everyone talk about the Antron Fleece and wonder why is it so much better?

I added a few more pics of three other puppets I made. I hope you like them.

Awesome job, love the penguins!

The butterfly is made from polar fleece. She looks fine, but the seams are very visible running down her face. It's all a matter of what you're looking for. I wanted to make her kinda quick so I used polar fleece and machine sewed it.

Last week was spring break. Some people go on vacation, I spent it making a Kermit the Frog replica using the MR poser as a reference and the Project Puppet sock pattern. I am very proud of it. I hope you like it

Kermit took the whole week, but I spent like 8 to ten hours a day for four or five days! I'm working on carving a Gonzo from a block of reticulated foam & converting an Animal MR poser to a puppet.

Hi ho! I've been a member for a while here an post from time to time. I teach elementary art and about two years ago I decided to start using puppets in my classroom to help with boring things like classroom management, how to use materials, and how to clean up. I made three original puppets using project puppet patterns, then I tried making a a couple Sesame Street characters: Elmo & Cookie Monster, using Project Puppet patterns as a starting point. By having my puppets interact with the Sesame Street ones, it gives them street cred in the kid's eyes! Here's a link, I hope you enjoy.
