What a lot of fun these were to make - Felt Hand Puppets!

Felt in A4 sheets for the main body pieces
Scraps of felt for belly patches etc
Self-adhesive felt for small patches (optional - can be sewn on instead)
Buttons
Embroidery thread and needle
Ribbon for bows for bears
How to make...
Hand Puppets Patterns
Before you start cutting out your felt, check hand size against the pattern - adjust the pattern width if necessary. Rather a little big, than too small!
Cut out two main body pieces
Cut out the appropriate patches.
Work on one of your main body pieces - We sewed the belly / snout patches on, using a running stitch, and then using self-adhesive felt, we stuck on the smaller patches. All can be either sewn or stuck on - up to you!
Buttons were stitched on for the eyes / noses and the bears each got a ribbon bow!
The monsters can be created as you will - every one is different!
When you are happy with your Hand Puppet, then stitch the two main body pieces together, close to the edges - easy to do on a sewing machine, but can be hand stitched if you like.
