I will show you on this page how to make finger puppets from your craft bits and bobs. All you need is a cotton glove like I have used, or an old wooly one you don`t wear anymore.
Play around with your scraps and they will soon shape into funny characters. When you are happy with your creations cut out some dress and body shapes from felt or fabric.

With this nice big green button, I made a frog. There was no green felt available, so I used blue. It goes well with the green eyes, don`t you think? Can you see how to sew the button on? Push the thread through one of the holes and catch the fabric underneath then push it back through the opposite hole. Do this several times and then cross over to the other two holes and do the same.Now my frog was ready for its googly eyes which have peel off sticky backs that seem to stick to the felt quite well. The big red foam shape was ideal for a mouth. Don`t use PVA glue for craft foam shapes! They won`t stick for long. Use a fabric glue for a better hold.
Moving along to the next glove finger you will see there is a chique lady with a posh hat and pearl earrings. The hat looks like hair actually. Again start off by sewing on the body parts. Sew on the head and dress first. Then the features, the eyes, nose and smiley mouth. Any accessories can be sewn or glued on last.This lady owns a big dog. He is the next character I made from my bits and bobs.

I found this pink stuff in my local haberdashery which is a super place to go if you don`t have any scrap craft materials to make finger puppets with. It looks just like a ballerina`s tutu, and the matching pink top is cut from thin craft felt. It was a toss-up between a feather head dress or a hair-do for this fourth character. As you can see I chose the latter. You only need a few strands of wool.
At the half-way mark, sew them to the top of the head and place a few stitches just above the ears if you want to make them bunch. The hair ties are made by glueing nail jewels over the stitches with PVA glue.
