Popsicle Puppet: Lady Head

Video Transcript

"To make our Fun Foam Popsicle stick puppets for our table top theater, we're going to need; oh, whatever you have. You can use pipe cleaners, you can use sequins; you can use beads, feathers. We have some precut Fun Foam pieces; some of them are have a sticker back and some of them you'll glue on. Some of these Fun Foam shapes, some Fun Foam sheets. You'll need scissors, the Popsicle sticks; some googly eyes and of course some glue. O.k. for a little Popsicle stick girl we're going to start with a pipe cleaner for some hair, and what you can do is the pipe cleaner has metal on the inside; you can poke right threw the Fun Foam. So I've got a shape for the face, you can use a circle; this is kind of a, a funny little shape here. And poke that threw, sort of on the top to the side and pull it right threw. About this long and I'm going to trim the other end. And then I'm going to poke that threw on the other side. Then we're going to give the, give our puppet a little hair do. You can make it straight, you can just bend the pipe cleaner anyway you want for hair or you can give it a permanent by curling it onto a pen; like this, o.k. You can make it even tighter by finding things maybe like a wooden skewer that's a little more narrow, and you can twist it on the wooden skewer to give your puppet a little bit of curly blond hair; like that. And then we're going to glue a few things on the front. But first I want to make her face and we're going to glue on some googly eyes. Oops, a little too much glue. I'll just take my skewer, and you only need a little bit of glue to glue these eyes on. Stick those eyes on there. And then with a pen or a permanent marker, or a pen; you can make a face. I'll just make like a little L for the nose. And I'll make a little mouth, so to make the mouth you can just make like a little, little M shape like that and then put a smile underneath it. It makes a cute little, cute little mouth. You can finish up with a little bit of a U underneath and that fills in our puppets lips. Now we're going to decorate the top of her head and hide this bald spot. I'm going to use a presticker type Fun Foam sticker here and just put that right up here on her forehead. And I'll find another one, maybe a little heart and then we'll stick this to our Popsicle stick. You can also decorate with a few sequins to make her really pretty. O.k., then dab your Popsicle stick with some glue and place her on there. And to give her a little bit more fluff I'm going to put a little glue in the back, like this. And we'll add a feather in the back. Now she's looking really pretty. And now we can cut from the Fun Foam sheets, we can cut a little bit of clothing."
