Are they monsters, aliens or kooky people? Who knows, who cares .....they were great fun to make and even more fun to play with.
- Draw and cut out two same shape pieces of felt - any color you like and any body shape you choose.
- "gogo glue gun " the two pieces together leaving the bottom open
3. Provide lots of trims, feathers, beads, yarn, pom-poms, fur, etc. and let your imagination RUN WILD!!! ( I especially love the green guys' teeth ) Here's where you can unload any odds & ends and scraps from other projects
4. Very Important NO GLUE GUNS for kids under age 10. Have them use a fast drying bottle glue . I really like Fabric Tac because it dries so fast - It's like a glue gun in a bottle. A little pricey at the craft stores but reasonable at Wal-Mart. And a little goes a long way
5. Fun Suggestion! Do two characters on one puppet ---front and back!
6. Put a spring curtain rod in a doorway about 3 ft from the floor. Drape a light sheet over it and "Viola !" A Puppet Theater ! Have Fun!!
