Open and close your hand. Your sock should already start looking like a puppet.
If your puppet is a girl, draw some eyelashes with a marker!
Those funky, fuzzy socks work the best for this type of puppet, but you can use plain socks too.
You can use an old cereal box for the cardboard.
Pink or red would work the best, but you can use a different color too.
If you don’t have hot glue, fabric glue or tacky glue may also work.
If you are using hot glue, work a little bit at a time so it doesn’t dry too fast.
Don’t glue the tongue all the way down. This way it can flap around! For more decorating ideas, click here.
Repeat this step to make the other arm.
The more times you wrap, the thicker the hair will be. Wrap it at least 10 times. You can use a similar technique to give your puppet a mustache! Leave the hair down or cut it. You can also braid it or put it into pigtails. You can also make hair out of pipe cleaners or cut shapes out of felt.
Draw eyelashes if it’s girl puppet. Draw freckles or a beauty mark under the eyes. Add some thick eyebrows or a mustache. Outline the puppet’s mouth in red for lipstick.
Cut a bow or tie out of felt, then glue it to the puppet. Make a pair of glasses out of pipe cleaners. Glue fancy buttons to either side of the puppet’s head for earrings. Make a bow out of ribbon, then glue it to the top of the puppet’s head.
Glue pompoms all over its body to make warts. Cut triangles out of felt or craft foam to make spikes. Give it some teeth or fangs. White craft form works the best for this. Make some horns for it out of craft foam or pipe cleaners.
