My $2.00 puppet

[ncchuck]

hi I have never made any puppet before and wanted to start small so i took a 50 cent sock puppet and a 50 cent pig plush toy and made this, I got the ping pong eyes from the dollar store and the felt and glue i had as well as the hair from a sample .I wish I would have taken some before shots, but its my first ever making muppet type eyes and sewing I kinda like how he turned out I'm calling him hockham

I likey. He's so cute and great.

And ahem, is it bad that as soon as I saw that one pic, I turned my laptop sideways and began reading the DVDs you have there? (Some nice ones, btw)
