Hey all,

Have you ever wondered what to do with thise small pieces of antron fleece that don't seem useful for anything except to making eyelids or small antron covered noses? Well I decided to make a puppet out of them.

Hey! he's great. I definately reckon pirate voice. Great work on not wasting any of your antron fleece. I wouldn't want to through it out either. Love the two tone eyes.

Thanks Pork,

The pirate voice is unavoidable now when I put the puppet on. I was very happy to use the scraps and I think I may do it again since my scrap bin is getting bigger than I would like. The eyes are made of Fimo. I just wanted to use materials that I didn't normally use in those ways (e.g. Fimo for the eyes was something I hadn't done before).

Fantastic! Now I need to save my scraps.
Hey Fozzie Bear,

It is amazing how many scraps one can end up with. I am sure you can have enough for your own puppet in no time. Just save'em up.
