He's cute love the hair and eyes. Well done.

Thanks for the comments I did adjust the eye angle slightly after the pics were taken. I did try them closer together but further apart seemed to look more like the person he was inspired by. My preference is always close as you definitely get better eye focus from that. I've just completed a...

one thing I forgot to mention. The eyes, were blanks I found on Ebay. The seller had several different sized and shaped blank eyes that are perfect for puppets. They also come in several different colours. They are no longer on ebay, but have a website. If you are interested, you should do a...

Thanks all, he was hard to make given my limited experience but was well worth the effort. I made three prototypes in green before the final version to get the suit to fit and to get the right look. The prototypes were scrapped afterwards as I felt it important that this was unique one of a...

Hi all, I made this for a charity auction and it went down really well. I used Antron Fleece "flesh tone" from Out of the Box. The tails suit came from Ebay, as did the shoes. Eyes were blank from Ebay, and I used some self sticking black felt for the pupils. I used an enlarged Melonhead...

Wow great voice and great puppet. Did you make it or acquire it from someone? Very nicely made Kermit, he looks fantastic and you really bring him to life. Greg

Wow Adam that's the best puppet tutorial I've seen, thank you so much for sharing this information it's really appreciated. Greg

Hi, I love the head shape do you come up with the head pattern from scratch or did you use an existing pattern? Looks like a good shape

Hi all, finally finished Elmo. finally gave him arms and legs. I haven't added any arm rods, as I mentioned above due to it being used by my almost 2 year old boy and I think arm rods would be too dangerous for him. I might make some removeable rods that just use rubber bands to attach, but...

Hi all, I made this puppet from the project puppet simple series punto (I think), but used the alternative simple series body and added some alterations to the hands to make it a live hand puppet (no fingers, more like a mitten). I wanted to keep it relatively simple. This puppet was more of a...

Wow thanks for the praise guys. The arms I found on this message board by searching. It was the master replicas photo puppet that someone pulled apart and patterned. Same with the feet and legs. The finger were trial and error. I found a garden wire that was covered in green rubber on the inside...

Wow what a great job, neat and very accurate. Congrats, you should be really happy with the results. Greg

Hi all, I started work on my Elmo for my nearly 2 year old son last Sunday. I used the Monster style puppet pattern from Project puppet which gives enough of a likeness for my purposes. Even with just the head completed my little boy already recognised his favorite furry little monster. My...

Hi all, finally got around to finishing Kermit 2.0. I gave it to my friend's son the other week and he absolutely loved it. He's been playing with it non stop and I believe it goes everywhere with him. He even took it to school one day. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out...

Hi I just emailed at the above address but it got rejected. Interested in seeing pics of your Elmo, email me lowgreg2000@gmail.com Greg

Hi, if you type Kermit into the search bar you'll find several peoples builds. One or two posts also have patterns from the master replica photo puppet. They are the leg patterns I used to make my Kermit. Hardest part will be finding the material to match the puppet you already have. It's...

Hi all, I've being working on my version 2.0 of Kermit and have completed his body, arms and legs so far. Ignore the pics with the head as I've since scrapped the head as I wasn't happy with the overall look. This is being done for my friend's son who is a huge muppets fan. I'll be making a...

Hey Bud, Wow, your puppets are really cool. I love the design of all of them. I've just finished making a kermit puppet for my son, and know how much work goes into learning to build on your first attempt, and I think you've done an outstanding job building the puppets. I'm not a puppeteer...

Thanks Jarrod, I thought it looked a bit too dark, it's so hard to tell on the computer screen but it certainly looked too dark to me. I've got some samples from another website which look closer, but I'll have to boil the fur to get the rougher look of Elmo. Thanks for your advice, it's much...

Hi, I'm sorry but not able to offer much advice about walter, however I just wanted to comment that your son is fantastic. What a clever idea using pillows, and he really does a great job operating kermit. I hope you find the right patterns to make him a walter, I'm sure he will put it to...
