Difficulty: Moderate

1. Decide on a budget for your marionette. These puppets on strings are not always cheap.
2. Call a children's or adult theater group, and inform them about your interest in purchasing a marionette. They may know of some small local stores in your area that specialize in puppets and marionettes.
3. Look at sites such as eBay that may offer discount marionettes.
4. Decide if you are looking for a custom-made marionette. You can buy custom-made ones at the Fratello Marionettes website.
