So I have a quick question for anyone willing to answer it. This was the best thread I could find to put it in.
So, you know when you make a puppet and you glue the fleece "lip" around the mouth, does anyone have a technique to make it less, for lack of a better word, ratty? It seems every time I do that I get that little bit of edge from the scissors and it doesn't look clean. I tried doing what the sock puppet pattern suggests where you sew the mouth in and then glue it to the mouth board. But on other puppets it throws off the balance of the head. Or is it just a manner of practice and gluing it straighter?
