Hey Kevinn,Hey guys, Im out of my element, I am a cartoonist, and for fun I wanted to make a puppet of my character NORM, The problem is head is shaped differently then what I would use to make a puppet. (Never made one before) but How can I make a pattern? or make his head have the shape the way I created him. And the cartoon for my avatar is Norm. Please help me guys. I don't want to spend my money( as little as I have) and waste it cause I try to do something new.
Thanks guys

The way I make a pattern is by building the head shape first. You can shape it out of foam or make a smaller figure out of clay. Once you have your shape, pin sheets of felt onto it. Making sure all the pieces are flat. If there are any creases or folds, smooth them over and cut them away. These will become darts when you sew. Unpin all your pieces and there’s your pattern!
