These are simple patterns for hand puppets.
Free Puppet Patterns to use, but please share a link to this page, not the patterns. Thank you.
My girls can use the sewing machine for simple stitching, so there were able to make the bodies for their puppets on the machine. You may want to sew the body for your child or have them glue the two sides together with Fabric Tac.
Any fabric can be used, but we used some inexpensive JoAnn Fabrics fleece.
- To make a simple hand puppet, fold over a piece of fabric so the “good side” is inside, or place two pieces of felt together.
- Pin the fabric so it stays in place.
- Trace the pattern to the fabric.
- Sew along the lines you have drawn, leaving the bottom open.
- Cut out your body about 1/4″ outside the stitch line.
- Turn body right side out.
- Decorate with eyes, nose, whiskers, etc.
- Put on a play.
