Question

How do you create an origami?

Community Answer

There are many ways to make origami. I suggest watching some of Jo Nakishama's - Original Creations on YouTube. He is a very good instructor, and can teach you how to make very hard things very simply.

Question

How do I make my Muppet puppet look scary?

Community Answer

Give it a scary face! Make it have sharp teeth and angry pointed eyebrows. Make its eyes wide open and maybe even a little bloodshot.

Question

Can I use a sandwich bag instead of a paper bag for the paper bag puppets?

Community Answer

Not really, because sandwich bags are difficult to draw on, and they are clear, so everyone would see your hand inside, which is distracting and defeats the entire purpose of a puppet.

Question

Can pencils be used as an alternative to the handle?

Community Answer

Yes, they can, though you might want to stick the pencil in the opposite direction so that you are holding the flat side of the pencil instead of the sharp side.

Question

When making a paper bag puppet, how do I make the mouth move?

Community Answer

If you want a puppet that has a moving mouth, I would suggest the Muppet puppet or the sock puppet.

Question

How do I make the hair for the muppet-like puppets?

Navya

Community Answer

You can make them out of wool or buy fake hair wigs. If you have fake hair wigs at home already, then you can use them for the hair. Or you can weave the wool and attach the hair on the head.
