Some hand puppets, more or less.
Quick and easy, use your sewer skills to fabricate some fun hand puppets to put on your own puppet show. If you want something a little more challenging than the sock puppet but not really ready to tackle the muppet-style puppet, try this hand puppet.
Please note that I used a sewing machine and a serger to make my hand puppet. They make it easy to sew, especially the serger which can bind and trim seams as it goes along. You do not have to have this equipment. All can be hand sewn with a needle and thread. It just takes a little longer.
If you are new to sewing, this is not really too complicated. It is also an exercise on how to mark and make things, knowing how to turn things inside out. Invest in a handy little seam ripper tool if you sew that once in a while seam that needs to be taken apart.
