Process
Step 1. Cut and paste
The first thing is to mark the cardboard with a medium or large size oval and cut it out with scissors. Once you do, fold it in half and mark the outline of that half on the foami; cut out that figure. Take the sock, turn it inside out and glue the cardboard to the toe of the sock (where the instep and toes go). Turn carefully to the right again and you will have the mouth. Now glue the piece of foami to the bottom of the oval (of the mouth to simulate the tongue).
Step 2. Assemble
Take the spheres, glue them to make the eyes. Glue them to the top of the oval (above where you glued the tongue). Finally, take strips of fabric to create the strands of hair for this character and adhere them to his head. Done, that easy this puppet will be finished for you to entertain your children at home.
