Step 5It's headed this way...
With the cut out fabric discs for the head, mark two triangular shaped darts on them. These "darts" are where fabric is pinched together and sewn. It will help give our puppet head some depth and roundness when it it filled.
The darts can be anywhere on the circle. These were placed by the neck but you can put them up by the hairline so it will be less obtrusive on the outside if you plan on adding a hat or some hair to cover the seam.
Pinch the dart together and sew across it.
I tacked the ears in place on the finished side.
Place the other piece with the finished side making the inside of the fabric sandwich.
You can also make a liner pocket where you place the fingers in the head of the puppet. You would want to do this so you do not need to poke around the stuffing every time you use the puppet.
Take a piece of fabric and folded over the same size as your puppet head with the opening at the bottom.
Put it at the bottom of the sandwich stack.
Sew all around leaving an opening for the fingers to place inside of the puppet head.
