"You can make more elaborate popsicle stick puppets by using ribbons and trims and all the great finds that you find in craft stores and fabric stores. To make our little popsicle stick princess, we're going to be using a sheer wired ribbon. You just need about six inches. You'll need the popsicle stick, something for the face. You can cut out a piece of felt, or even a piece of cardboard. I'm using a little fun foam circle. I'm going to be using a trim, a silver trim like this for the hair, and I'm going to be using a pretty silver metallic ribbon for her dress. OK, let's get started. So you'll take your popsicle stick, and we'll start by gluing on some hair and for the hair I'm using this nice braided trim here with a little bit of a tassel. So I'm going to just first trim off some of this unraveled bit, and we're going to wrap this around the tip of the popsicle stick, so you just need the amount that will wrap around the popsicle stick and just overlap a bit in the back and we'll glue that on. It's good to use a good thick fast drying glue. And don't use too much, because the more you use the longer it takes to dry, and we'll just wrap that around like that and give it just a minute to dry."
