In this video tutorial you will learn how to make a professional hand puppet. This project is very special to me because I got to work with my little sister. She owns 'The Circus Cottage' Etsy shop ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCircusCottage ) a place dedicated to puppeteers, ventriloquists and performing artists. I believe she and her team are the best professional puppet makers, with hundreds of puppets sold all over the world. You may already be familiar with some of their work (ex. they made the famous puppet Foster, the bunny Jack Williams used in his ventriloquism act on America's Got Talent TV Show in 2022) For this project we mostly used fleece and polyurethane foam. It's pretty amazing how you start with those flat sheets and end up with such a beautiful hand puppet. Make sure to follow the instructions in the PDF . They put so much thought and effort into making these detailed instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download the PDF pattern here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/943740293/half-body-round-head-puppet-pattern Puppet Eyes: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1758480636/pack-of-4pairs-cabochon-realistic-puppet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tools & Materials: Polar fleece - https://amzn.to/4dwJoJx Polyester fiber(pillow stuffing) - https://amzn.to/4cdVJBl Wood dowel for the hands - https://amzn.to/3Yx5S8S Foam - 1 inch thick - https://amzn.to/4d8tXXU Spool of sewing thread - https://amzn.to/3WysJOB Contact cement - https://amzn.to/4ftCIxs Hot glue gun - http://amzn.to/2sO7EkF Cutter - https://amzn.to/3SC5guZ Scissors - https://amzn.to/4d6Obl7 Sewing machine - https://amzn.to/3A9wseh
