Hey crafters! I’m feeling a lot better after talking to my friend Molly. I was asking her about what I could make for Millie (her little sister who happens to think I’m pretty awesome), and Molly thought it was really neat that I was making all my gifts this year. She said she wished she was as creative as I am! Talk about a boost to my crafty spirits! I feel much better. And what am I making for Millie? A bear puppet! (Millie is all about having an awesome imagination. She LOVES making up stories!).

 

What you need: brown felt, scissors, pink fabric paint,  black fabric paint, craft glue, wooden craft stick, different colors of felt

What you do:

  1. Cut a bear shape out of your brown felt. The bear has to be small enough to fit onto your wooden craft stick.
  2. Cut out a muzzle for your bear. Glue it in place.
  3. Draw on a black nose and black eyes with the black fabric paint.
  4. Let the paint (and glue) dry.
  5. Cut out clothes to fit your bear.
  6. Glue the bear to the wooden craft stick. Glue on the clothes.
  7. If you want, make several different puppets – your little recipient will love them!

    Great idea, Roberta! You are so creative – and the result is amazingly wonderful!! Thank you for sharing all these ideas with us.

    Love it, maybe you could make a set, so she could put on a play. How about Goldie Locks, your bear came out so cute, you would have to use it. I’m sure you have enough scraps of felt, and leftover sticks, and with your talent, you would knock it out in no time. You’re sure to be front row center of her first puppet show!
    Keep up the good work.
