Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cloth gloves
• Hot glue gun
• Scrap cloth
• Scissors
• Markers

1. Glue the eyes (buttons or googly eyes) on each finger. Each finger will become a character on the glove.

2. Cut and glue on yarn for hair. Do not use too much yarn as it will stick to your fingers or start coming off.

3. Cut and glue on scraps of cloth to use as clothes for your characters.

4. Use the markers to draw the rest of the face on each finger to make the character complete.

5. Name each character.

6. Allow time for the glue or marker to dry.

7. You can either use the palm to display the names of your puppet friends or even draw where they live.
