Fig. 1 · Fig. 2 · Fig. 3 · Fig. 4 Follow basic instructions above for finger puppets. NOSE: Use the red heel of another sock or a piece of felt. Cut in a triangular shape, sew the long sides together, turn and stuff lightly. Bend for a hooked nose and sew to face (Figure 1). MOUTH: Sew on an upside down crescent-shaped piece of felt. EYES: Sew on two black buttons, close together over nose. Embroider forbidding black eyebrows. HAIR: Add scraggly black hair by sewing on loops of black yarn in various lengths and cutting the ends open (Figure 2). CLOAK: Use a piece of dark material about 12 × 15. Fold in half lengthwise. Sew across one end starting at the corner of the folded edge and tapering down to a point 2 from the top of the open edge (Figure 3). The highest point becomes the peak of the hood. Turn right side out. Gather the material about 4 down from the front of the hood to fit around the neck of the puppet. Stitch ribbon over gathers and tie ends at front. Turn front edges of hood back about 1 and hem rough edges (Figure 4). |
