Puppets

Our church wanted to get some puppets for the Youth Group to use for skits. They would cost about $40 each, so we decided that I could sew them for cheaper. I had a pattern, but I changed it quite a bit to make it the way I wanted!

This is the puppet that I sewed as an example of what they would look like.

This puppet has felt eyes.

Side view without hair!

All finished, showing the inside of the mouth.

We named this one Bella.

My mom and I (and the kids) went to buy the fabric for the puppets 2 days before Andrew was born. We couldn't find what we were looking for and it took quite a while to figure out something that would work. We ended up buying fabric to make 6 puppets. There will be a girl and a boy in 3 different skin tones- light, medium, and dark.

Here is the light-skinned boy. I have the girl mostly done, but needed to put it aside to work on costumes and etc for October!

"Bill" has plastic eyes.

In use.

"Bella" is a reporter and "Bill" is Moses. (The beard is just pinned on)
