Making My Puppets Continued...

I then painted the heads and made some funky foam necks.

I then made the teachers hat from funky foam covered in sock material and his mustache and eyebrows made from funky foam. I put wire in the mustache to make it animatable. I also made glasses for the schoolboy from wire, funky foam and the back of googly eyes for the white part.

I then began to make clothes by measuring the puppets, making patterns from paper and then cutting the cloth to size. I sewed the main seems together and glued the edges.

I finished the clothes of with collars, ties, buttons and belts.

I made shoes for the school boy from funky foam and using the same method, I used card for the teachers shoes as he will not be moving much.

I sculpted mouths for the teacher from Plasticine and made mouths for the school boy from card and funky foam.

I finished the puppets off with Milliput eyes painted black. I also made Plasticine eyelids for the teacher and one set of angry eye lids for the school boy. I made a simple background to bring the piece together which I think works well.
