These are super easy and take care of those gloves without a mate or gloves with holes in some of the fingers.
Step One
Assemble the materials.
Step Two
Cut the fingers off the old gloves. Discard any fingers that have a hole in the top unless you are creating a “bald” puppet (your fingertip will be the bald patch).
Step Three
Edge the base of the fingers to prevent unravelling. A simple hand- stitch is fine. Glue works just as well if you can’t or don’t want to sew; just turn up the base a little and glue it.
Step Four
Decorate the puppets: Use felt for eyes (cut small eye shapes, or circles) or purchase stick-on eyes from a shop. Glue on a nose made from felt, sequins, tiny buttons etc. Create a mouth. Glitter sticks are great for this, or again cut a felt smile and glue on. Add the hair. Use yarn, wool, string for hair. It can be loose, tied into ponytails, braided, left long or short. Add a beard to one or two with cotton wool pieces. Glue or sew hair and beard on. Dress the puppets. Use fabric, glue or stitching and your imagination. Add bow ties, scarves, jewels, buttons etc.
