Start with the neck which needs to be fairly long as half of it will not be on show when attached to the head. We are aiming for a shape like in the picture below. The head is modelled around the plastic ball, and the structure of the body consists of tin foil, plastercine and coins.Ģ. The first thing we need to do is construct the marionettes body parts…which are the head, the torso, the 4 arm pieces, 4 leg pieces, hands and feet. Ribbons/buttons/appliqués for decoration*ġ. Small soft play ball (like in the pack of 100 you can buy) White/beige wool for stringing body together Most of them you will probably lying around the house anyway. Don’t be put off by the long list of materials too. I searched high and low as I wanted to make a marionette for my daughter at Christmas. Make a beautiful peasant girl, an Arabic belly dancer, a handsome prince or an evil witch….maybe even all of them if you have the time! As far as I know, there isn’t another tutorial like this on the web at the moment. We have some of the most creative toilet roll crafts around.A completed paper mache marionette with strings If you’re on a craft roll, then take a look at our other craft ideas on our website. Our Cushelle loo rolls can be used to create things like pencil pots or even hamster and gerbil toys.

Remember, here at Cushelle we have other craft ideas beyond how to make a string puppet. Homemade toilet roll puppets are a great way to reuse old packaging and spend quality time together creating a fun toy to play with. As our tutorial proves, puppet making for kids needn’t be a complicated business. Now you’ve learned how to make a puppet you’ll be able to make a whole cast of characters. There you have it! Your in-depth guide on how to make puppets for kids!
When dry, wrap and tie the ends of the wool to the sticks, ensuring the head and body are level. Glue two lollipop sticks together in a cross.Then do the same with the other length of wool at the back of the dog’s body. Cut two more lengths of wool, and thread the first length through the holes in the head and front of the body, tying a knot in each section to hold them in position.Tie large knots at the ends to stop the feet falling off. Thread it through the holes in the bottom of the dog’s body, and add the bendy straw feet. Cut two lengths of wool for the dog’s legs.Take the bendy straws and cut out a small piece for the dog’s tail.Next, make small holes in the top and bottom of one end of the head, two holes at either end of the top of the body, and two holes at each end of the bottom of the body.You're now halfway through making the perfect puppet for kids! Stick the ears to the back of the head, and the tongue to the front.Then cut out a tongue, and colour with a red felt tip pen. To make the ears, cut out two oval shapes from a sheet of strong kitchen paper (we used Plenty).When dry, add spots to the white head and body with a black marker pen.Next, paint the head and body with white paint and leave to dry.Leave the other roll whole to make the body. To make the dog’s head, carefully cut a toilet roll in half with a craft knife, and discard one piece.
