Have you ever wanted to make your own puppet? Each month we will be building a new design together - different fur, different mouth plate styles, different head shapes, and more!
This month we will be building a hand puppet together. You will be sent all materials (fur, foam, felt, etc.) and together we will build a puppet, step by step. You do not have to have any puppet building experience. We will build a puppet skull and head out of foam (week 1), pattern, cut, and sew the body out of faux fur (week 2), construct the puppet (week 3), and apply facial features (week 4). Each class is 1 hour in length.
We will mail you:
- Faux Fur
- Patterns
- Foam
- Felt
- Other specialty items for this puppet!
YOU must provide:
- Exacto Blade (Best) or Rotary Blade (Good) or Fabric Scissors (Will work!)
- Sewing machine or Needle for Hand Sewing (Either work!)
- Thread (in a neutral color)
- Hot Glue Gun or Really, Really Strong Glue
- Cutting mat (not required, but could be helpful if you are intend on making puppets with us each month
Registration closes Tuesday, September 28th in order to send out curated material boxes.
