Step 4Time to Make the Body
While you are waiting for the head to dry, you can make the body. First, you will need a simple fabric form. Print out the pattern below at full-page size (8.5 x 11)(You can also alter this pattern to personalize your puppet's body by making the arms longer, body fatter, etc.) Use this pattern to cut out two pieces of fabric. Fleece or felt work best because they will not fray at the top and bottom.
Now that you have your pieces cut out, sew them together along both sides (leave the top and bottom open). If sewing is not a possibility for you, you can also glue them together along the edges with tacky glue or hot glue, but make sure that the glue is completely dry before you move on.
Using sharp scissors, cut short slits from the outside almost to the seam near the tightest curves (such as just under the amrs). This is known as "clipping curves" and will keep these areas from bunching when you turn it. Next, turn your body right side out and you are done.
