How do you make this nose?

Practice Golf Balls

try the sporting goods section, most of those store sell small foam practice golf balls, not the soft foam like Nerf, but they are light weight and u can pin ito them,

You make a good point. Practice golf balls can also make great puppet eyes. Check it out: http://swazzle.com/blogs/2005/11/puppet-eyes-practice-golf-balls.html

Joann's Crafts (joann.com) sells 'egg shaped' hard styrofoam egg-balls. Perfect for the 'Beaker style' Muppet nose you have in mind. Also, it would be very easy to slap some fabric over it, with some strong glue ..or maybe pins.
Hope this helps.-Mia

The Toystore in my town sells clownsnoses made of foam. You can also dye those and as Andrew suggested cut out a wedge in the back to adjust the shape.

Hey!

I'm Gabe, 14 years old, and this is how I've learned to make noses!

The way that I make noses is I cut a circle of antron and use a running stitch (in, out, in out...) all around the edge of the circle, and make sure you leave extra thread at the end (don't cut the "tail"). If you stick a pice of foam in the center of the circle and pull the tail of the thread, it should act as a drawstring and then you can make a seamless, "perfect" nose (sew the bad side to the puppet so that you see the front only).
