Puppet Patterns

These handpuppets are not made up yet. Click on the image to enlarge. The possum has yellow mirror-back jewels for eyes, with the pupils marked in black permanent ink. The nose is a glass bead with a flower in the centre. The bird has buttons for eyes, and the eyebrows and beak are felt. The scarf is crocheted in double/treble stitch, so it can be fastened by poking through itself.

There are lots of ways to make eyes. These are the glue-on or poke-in kind.
