Part Eight: The body

Next, make the body.

Fold a piece of regular printer paper in half lengthwise. Then draw a curved line, like so:

Fold the paper in half again, then cut along the line. Symmetry!

The next piece is cut out of the foam twice.

Again, you can play with the shape and size of the puppet. Just make sure that the head’s neck opening is close to the same size as the body’s neck opening.

The Three cut pieces. Begin to attach them, exactly like you did with the head, hot gluing along the outer edge of the foam.

Joining the the three.

Now, try the puppet on your arm to see if it fits! Mine didn’t!

You can trim down the foam. I recommend trimming off the bottom of the body, if you start to trim from the neck end of the head or the body, they might not match up as well.

The body, trimmed. Now try out your puppet!
