Clothespin Paper Puppets

7/13/2020

 

Materials

Puppet face templates (see link below)
Clothespins - 1 for each puppet
Glue or glue dots
Crayons/markers
Optional:
  • Google eyes
  • Stickers
  • Yarn
  • ​Feathers
  • Other decorating supplies
Picture
Color the puppet faces. 

Trim the edges of excess paper then cut across the puppet heads at the line through the mouth.

Glue the paper faces onto the clothes pin with the "lower jaw" on 1 bottom portion of the clothespin and the rest of the head glued to the top portion on that same side. You will want to mirror that on the other side.

Add
other decorations like google eyes, stickers, yarn, feathers, sparkles or whatever you like.


You can add hair similar to how you’d make a pompom. Just wrap the yarn fewer times, so that it doesn’t puff into a circle. In our examples "hair" was yarn wrapped around three fingers and tied into a bundle. We also braided yarn for hair. Once you have your "hair" you will want to glue it to the undecorated side of the puppet's head.

Thank you to Menucha (Citron) Ceder at Momsandcrafters.com for this great idea permission to share it with you.
