One of the best ones I've seen was from the Dr Puppet tutorials. You can either purchase the complete data DVD set for $55 plus tax and shipping or just the "covering the head fleece" on the previous page for $5 which I believe is a download.

I have not checked these other videos yet but, if you go to StiqPuppets Youtube channel and type in "head" in their search field, you will see a few videos on covering the head with antron fleece. Good luck!

Before I started making puppets I was a costumer. I drape patterns for costumes and clothes all the time. Draping is a great way to make puppets. that is how i made all of the patterns for my puppets.
this video will show you basics of draping. you can apply this to puppet making

this is from project puppet, an example of raping with puppets.

I've looked at most of his videos and they've been extremely helpful. I was missing one thing that he didn't show in the draping of his frank head, but as I looked deeper into it today he has another video for the body that covers the cutting and stitching the felt. Exactly what I needed!
:scary:
