Puppet Building Video #1 - The Mouthplate

The first video in a barely thought out & marginally executed series to show you how to build your own "rod-arm" puppet, using the Project Puppet "Glorified Sock Puppet" pattern. Hey, if I can do it...anyone can!

Pattern available at: http://www.projectpuppet.com/servlet/-strse-1/simple-sock-puppet-pattern/Detail

Where do you get the Project Puppet pattern?

@PentecostalPuppets I added a link in the description.

Great series thank you.

@J0LaPi Yeah I realized that in the next video and felt like a big dork! Thanks!!! I love what you did. It helps to see and not just follow instructions! LOL

@awspuppets Ok no prob. Thanks bro!

@ViamReviews Oh man I am quite a novice. I've only been in the puppet game for half a year now so I'm not the best person to ask. I would assume it all depends on the structure. If you need heavy duty though I'd go with wood.

@awspuppets you use corrugated plastic?! Oh perfect! Would you recommend it for large full bodied costume puppets or 1/4 plywood? I need something stiff, not wobbly or easily bendable, and something lightweight. Please reply back!

I never know where to find gasket rubber so I just use plastic for sale signs from the dollar store. I bet rubber would be better though.
