This week, we continue building a homemade puppet (a turtle puppet) by making a pattern for the covering of the foam head. Pattern making isn’t just for sewing or cosplay anymore, and everybody can learn to make an easy pattern with nothing more than some masking tape. Patrick covers the puppet’s foam head with masking tape, making a (hopefully) perfect-fitting, hand-sewn homemade puppet covering.

Join puppeteers Patrick and Peter every Monday at 8pm Eastern time to learn something to do with puppetry, puppet making, and performing with puppets. Why not subscribe and keep up with everything we do?
