@muppetspuppets Cool! This actually helped a lot. All the other tutorials were so difficult :P

[yamatoe57]

[muppetspuppets]

@yamatoe57 Well if you ever loose one, instead of throwing it away - here's another use =P

[LemonTheMighty]

[BieberliciousKB]

[PowerplayoneTV]

Cool! Thanks! I had an idea today and I'm making one tonight!!! Mine will be red too for Valentine's Day!!!

[johnvaldesmagic]

The girls is very pretty!

[Ryodox]

any idea for a substitute for the eyes?

[nathanthesmallone]

@Ryodox Googly eyes or just carboard cut into circles with black pen circle for eyes! :)

[sgaevan1567]

its elmo!

[overhool]

can you make the mouth from cartboard?

[muppetspuppets]

@overhool Yeah . It might not be as springy but It will do the job

[overhool]

@muppetspuppets allright thanks

[GamerZzism]

simple but very good

[jackthedudeful]

where can you get an ice-cream container lid like that?

[muppetspuppets]

@jackthedudeful any plasic container would work. Even the bottom of a plasic milk bottle.

[nathanthesmallone]

@jackthedudeful I think its just like the top of an ice cream cone! So like y'know when youv got say.... a Cornetto and you take off that top bit to get to the top of the ice cream, I think its that bit :)

[SnifflyDott]

cool



[littlebigkidz]

ummm... what size should theee... that thing that you put in the puppet's mouth...??? how big should it be?

[muppetspuppets]

@littlebigkidz The plastic you cut from an icecream container should be roughly the size of your palm. You can always cut it smaller later if it doesn't fit in properly.

[TheMrJayMac]

it looks like elmo!

[inndigogirl]

thank you helped a lot

[muppetspuppets]

@inndigogirl I'm glad. Thanks for your comment =)

[SpeedStackingBoy1000]

Wow...That was fast...

[sminkyminky]

Can I just ask you, how do you get the Ping Pong Balls to stick to the sock? What do you use?? I know, I know -- you're gonna say glue.. but what I mean is, you have no surface to stick the glue on (as its hollow) so how does that work? As I type this I'm thinking I know one way to get around this but you make no mention of it in your feature... so, I'm thinking you must have a simple and glaringly solution that I've missed. Many thanks

[muppetspuppets]

Yeah I'm going to say glue lol. It is a bit tricky, you're right, but just run the glue around the edge of the ping pong ball half then hold it onto the sock.

For the clip I got some velcro strips and folded it on some of the edges of the ping pong ball. That only holds long enough for the demonstration though.

[sminkyminky]

How do you get the ping Pong balls to stick to the sock? What do you use??

[muppetspuppets]

Clear craft glue. Not pvc or wood glue. You can usually buy it from the cheap discount stores.

[ryeabowser]

[ronike116]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo

[mojacherox]

Lol, awesome, I'm going to make Sifl and Olly (Youtube it)!

[muppetspuppets]

you could just use cardboard..... And use 2 full ping pong balls for eyes. Maybe an adult can help with it too?

[mattrat349]

@muppetspuppets wats an easy way to cut a ping pong ball. because when i tried to cut it with a knife and it just made it blunt

[muppetspuppets]

Depending on your age you might want to get your parents to get a Stanley Knife and cut a slit in the centre of the ping pong ball.

Then just stick the scissors in the slit to cut them in half.

[littlehalfsquat5]

I'm making OLLY!!!

[Citrangish]

It doesn't say how big to cut the circle.

[muppetspuppets]

You're right - I didn't .... About the size of your fist.

[muppetspuppets]

This was only last year..

[jantheempress]

handy dandy!

[muppetspuppets]

Thankyou spankyou!

[ShereNelson]

what show is this??

[muppetspuppets]

It's taken from a segment I did on 'the Shak'.

[Pritamdaking]

how about "socky"?

[NOFUCKthrash]

Amazing...it seems so easy, btw i'm not sure is so sample to do! :D

[FlipperFlop7]

Wow! In under 50 seconds! I am amazed!

[SpoonMcGuffin]

Are we not all but puppets? Walking shadows who strut and fret our 15 minutes of fame, characters in someone else's dream - a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

I feel so used.

[muppetspuppets]

It is a bit quick. They don't have much time to fit everything into one show. Was there a part you wanted to know more about?

I used a sock, a pingpong ball cut in half and icecream container lid.

Just draw a circle on the icecream container lid about the size of your fist.

Then cut it out.

You can trace a small cup if you want.

Clear craft glue is good to keep it all together.

[CleveryQwerty]

thats simple but easy

[muppetspuppets]

It sure is! Just like most ideas, you just have to think of it =)

[smileyemma100]

wow i'll have to give that a go lol!

[BrianCraddock]

You truly are a genius... i'm sure Millar would agree with me.

[CerezaAzul]

Aww how sweet!
