|
| Prepare some newspaper strips and
masking tape. Tear a couple of sheets of newspaper
into strips approx. 6cm wide. Tear off about 20
short pieces of masking tape and stick the edge
of them to the side of your desk so you can pick
them up easily. |

|
 |
|
| Wrap a strip of newspaper around
your index and middle finger. Secure with masking
tape. Add another one, but don't have it exactly
on top of the first -- vary the direction slightly.
Secure with masking tape. Continue in this way,
keeping your two fingers inside the shape. Go on
-- be adventurous -- make your puppet look dramatic! |

|
 |
|
| Place some strips over the top
of your fingers to form the top of the puppet's
head. Place some strips along the base to strengthen
it and all around the top. |

|
|
 |
|
| Tear more strips of newspaper and
masking tape as you need them. Continue in this
way until the head is about the size of an apple.
Fold small pieces of paper and stick onto face to
create features. Go on-be adventurous -- make your
puppet look dramatic! |

|
| When you are happy with your puppet's
face use school paint to mix the colours you need
to paint it. Add details. Will your puppet have
a hat? Hair? Hairband? Moustache? Beard? Glasses?
Earrings? What materials will you use to make these? |

 |
|
| Make a costume for your puppet
using old fabric. Cut out a t-shirt shape, with
a long neck, big enough to slip over your hand and
wrist. Sew the seams. Decorate with beads, buttons,
sequins or whatever you wish. Slide the costume
over your hand and wrist, putting your thumb through
one arm-hole and your 4th and small finger through
the other. The puppets head fits on your index and
middle finger. Have fun! |
