A puppet is a portable form of a person or creature typically moved either by strings commanded from over or by a hand inside it. At the beginning of 2021, I sparked an interest in how to make my own handmade puppets. I researched online, watched many videos, and found Adam Kreutinger to be the most resourceful for making custom puppets. I applied the puppet creators' techniques and tips to my own and was pleased with the outcome.

Puppet Features
Both hand options are included. One hand will have rods for dynamic arm movements, while the other is designed for mouth manipulation and can be operated easily.
Size-wise, the 30-inch model appears ideal for regular sets and should provide easy control, fitting comfortably up to your mid-bicep. A smaller scale will maintain all the detailed craftsmanship, ensuring the puppet remains as lively and impactful as intended. I would not recommend going beyond a 30-inch model; smaller is better.
Our puppet's design is as flexible as your needs. We can craft the lower half with legs and shoes if you prefer a full-body puppet. However, if space or manipulation is a concern, our half-body design is just as aesthetically pleasing and won't compromise the overall look and feel of the puppet.
Regarding the timeline, we value the flexibility to accommodate such requests, ensuring the puppet arrives in time for your upcoming classes and shows. We will work together on this, with the normal process taking four weeks plus another week for delivery to your doorstep.
