Step 7Add accessories
For the eyes I used cut spoons and to add a bit of shine to the pupils, cut black plastic bags.
On other puppets I used ping pong balls sliced in half. I then spilled a little foam / pva glue inside and left to dry overnight. The nose is a bit of felt sewn over sponge ball.
Eyelashes are black frilly wool. Eyelids for the magenta quilt puppet head are made of orange felt cut in a crescent then glued to the back of ping pong ball.
The hair is a short bit of knitted wool. You can improvise with anything at hand.
You create different characters by rearranging the angle and placement and size of the accessories. The pupils are usually placed a bit cross-eyed (near the nose), to give an appearance of looking directly at the audience at every angle.

You're welcome, it takes a bit of hand sewing though, but if you don't mind it its quite simple to do. (There's lots of make puppets tutes on YTube too to do with performance which are pretty good.)
