    Distinctive Fabrics.....

    Has anyone ever done business with them? The prices seem reasonable, and they have something called "stringy" fur that looks like it's already been treated to look matted and unkept.... Just curious - thanks!

    I use the Jo-Ann fleeces as well, I have the same shade I believe? I actually found one slightly darker I may try next.... Are the legs to come next? Again, nicely done!

    Help with Matting an Elmo Puppet's Fur

    Question: When you say "boil", do you mean in an actual pot, or are you just laying it in a tub with extremely hot water? Thanks!

    New to Puppet Making.

    Really, I just did one on the medium setting and so far I haven't had any issues? When did you notice it coming apart?

    I'd like to own a Fraggle

    I can understand your frustration, but that's just an outragious price for a puppet, and not even a screen used or an original studio puppet at that. If purchasing is the route you wish to go, there are people just as talented out there that I can guarantee can do something similar for alot...

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    No, do not use glass! That would be bad, especially on your head! Target and Kmart both have multisizes available for the holidays....in plastic!

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    If you can find them in white, that would be perfect, you're looking for something between 48-50mm for a Cookie or Elmo type I believe? I could only find them in green and gold so far. The screw should be fine by itself, and I liked the idea of cutting the pupil from another ball to get the...

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    I'm personally going to try the Christmas ornaments on a project of my own as well. I'm thinking where the head is 1" foam, I'm going to use doll joints thru the bottom sticking up, and then hot glue the shaft of the ornament thru the top down into the foam onto the joint. Does that sound...

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    Personally I wouldn't use styrofoam at all, but that was the question you posed, so I thought the long pins with the ball on the end and some craft foam may be a viable solution for you.... :)

    What materials can I use for a spyrofoam puppet's pupils?

    With Styrofoam, I would maybe suggest long hat pins with glue to seal them into the ball? Cut the pupils out of foam and leave them dangling a bit on the pin so they can spin freely..... Good Luck!
