Your BIGGEST Mistake in Building Puppets

[Woofus]

Ok... I admit it.

I glued the nose of my 2nd puppet onto his chin. Ooooops!

(Now he has a nice soul patch there!)

Woofus!

 

[erniebert1234ss]

how about using way too much hot glue on a sock puppet nose and trying to put it on with bare fingers. OUCH!

Also, I screwed up the arms on my Lizzardo puppet, but I worked around it by saying he had had a birth defect from all those pesticides (environmental message from a puppet! ouch!).

Most recently:

I attached a thumb strap and a speedbump to the inside of a mouthplate before attaching the mouthplate. I thought I was being smart, thinking ahead like this.

Then I attached the mouthplate upside down, so now I have a thumbstrap on top and a speedbump on bottom!

(if you understood what you just read, and laughed at it, congratulations. You're as big a puppet nerd as I am.)

Yay! I'm a puppet Nerd! I'm a puppet Nerd! *jumping up and down*

At least you guys are smart enough to make puppets. I can't even tie my shoes for crying out loud!~!

 

[ScrapsFlippy]

Smart?

I don't know. Here's another mistake:

Sewing fabric directly to foam. Amazing how easy it is for thread to tear through foam! Amazing how I didn't see it coming!
