Star Wars Finger Puppets


Today the Crafternoon project was Star Wars Finger Puppets. It was really fun!
We made our puppets with felt, which I love working with - no hemming ^_^ 

I made some line drawings first and, now, I have vectorised them in Illustrator and uploaded them for you to use - yay! ^_^

So, if you would like to make some finger puppets, you can use my drawings as a kind of pattern. They were pretty easy and quick to make - I cut out two torso and two head shapes, sewed the little decorative bits to the right places, and then blanket stitched everything together. 
I haven't made all the characters yet, so if you make them, I would love to see!

Hi Fromemaid! Wow - I'm so pleased you like them! I'd love to be mentioned on your blog ^_^ To show me the picture, the best way would probably be to just send me a link to where ever it is ^_^ I'm not sure how to allow people to upload images to my blog ... I will try to find out! But until then, if you put it on your blog, I will see it there ^_^ Thanks again!
