Rotate the rectangle so it's vertical. After you rotate it, the short sides of the rectangle should be at the top and bottom.
Keep the paper rectangle oriented like this as you continue to fold it. Fold the rectangle in half, bringing the 2 short edges together. Pull one of the shorter edges up so that it aligns with the other short edge. Crease the paper at the fold to hold it in place. Fold each flap down so the edges line up with the center fold. Align the edge with the bottom fold, then crease the fold so the paper stays down.
Repeat with the other side. Glue the 2 outside folds down. Squirt dots or a thin line of glue around the inside of the 2 flaps you just folded. Leave the very center fold of the paper unglued. This will be the mouth of your puppet. Use crayons, markers, or paint to add colorful designs to the puppet, for instance. You can also glue on 3D decorations like ribbon, paper, or googly eyes.
Hot glue will hold better. Place your fingers in the 2 openings to use your paper puppet. First, put your thumb in one of the openings along the outside of the center crease. Then, insert the rest of your fingers into the other opening next to it. Your thumb should be in the bottom opening, your other fingers should be in the top opening. Method 2. Get a paper lunch bag to use as your puppet. The color of the bag doesn't matter you can paint it a different color later if you'd like , but make sure it's big enough for your hand to fit inside of it and not so big that it's really loose on your hand.
With a paper bag puppet , you don't need to fold or cut anything to use your puppet. Just stick your hand into it and use your fingers to move the bottom of the bag up and down like it's a talking mouth. Paint the entire bag with acrylic paint if you want it to be a different color.
Apply layers of acrylic paint using a paintbrush. You can also use spray paint to coat the paper bag instead of brushing it on. Use googly eyes and yarn if you want to make a doll puppet. To turn your paper puppet into a person, glue googly eyes on top of the puppet the bottom of the paper bag along with strands of yarn for hair. You can also draw on a nose and lips, glue paper ears on the side, or design an outfit on the bottom half.
To make braids, cut strips of fabric and weave them together just like you were braiding real hair. For clothes, glue on things like fabric scraps, buttons, or a paper bow tie.
Make jewelry, like a necklace, out of string and beads. Make a dog or cat puppet if you love animals. Use construction paper to cut out pointy ears for cats or big floppy ears for dogs. Glue them on the top of the puppet along with eyes and a nose. Then, glue a tail made from paper or pipe cleaners onto the back. To make a collar, use a piece of ribbon with a bead or draw it on with markers.
Create a monster puppet if you want something spooky or silly. Decorate the front of the bag in bright colors or patterns, like stripes and polka dots, using paint or markers. Then glue on oversized eyes and pointy fangs cut out of construction paper. You can also add ears, horns, or a long tongue. Use things like glitter, feathers, or pieces of wrapping paper to make your puppet more unique and creative.

Article Summary X To make a simple paper puppet, start by folding a piece of construction paper in thirds lengthwise. Bahasa Indonesia: Menciptakan Boneka Kertas. Related crafts: For more puppets, many with plays based on folktales, see Puppets Around the World. Choose the puppets that you want to make. Download each pattern and print it on white paper. For the cat, rabbit, bear, "Guy" and "Sally" puppets, also print the puppet add-ons pattern for the ear and hair additions.
Print the blank pattern to make a puppet of your own design, and use the eye expressions add-ons pattern to add some personality to your puppet. Patterns are Adobe PDF files. The Adobe Reader is available for free. All of Aunt Annie's project patterns are designed to be printed on standard letter-size paper 8. Color the puppet any colors you like. Add details to the puppets, like stripes on the cat or wisps of fur in the rabbit's ears.
Use the blank pattern and your imagination to make puppets of your own design. Add some creative cutouts or use the silly eyes from Aunt Annie's eye expressions add-ons pattern. How about a monster or a fire-breathing dragon? A truck or car with wheel add-ons sounds like fun, too!
Cut out each puppet and add-on part on the outside solid line. Be sure to make accurate cuts. The cat, rabbit and bear puppets have two ear add-ons and the "Guy" puppet has hair and two ears.
Tip: If you choose to tape the mitt together, cut away the glue tabs by cutting the mitt on the solid black lines. To make the folding easier, score the center fold line and the glue tab fold lines on the mitt. Fold lines are marked in red.
The mitt's top glue tab has a curved fold line. It is very important that this line is scored before folding! Fold the side glue tab on the mitt, then fold the mitt in half on the center fold line. Now fold and unfold each section of the glue tab on the scored fold line. The snipped sections will overlap. Apply glue along the back of the side glue tab.
Fold the mitt in half and fold the glue tab over the mitt's back to close the mitt's side seam. To close the top seam, put glue on the back of each section of the top glue tab and fold over the back of the mitt. Let the glue dry. Tip: You can use tape in place of the glue and glue tabs. Fold a length of tape over the mitt's side seam and several small pieces of tape over the mitt's top seam.
Cat: Glue the cat's ears to the front of the mitt, near the top. Bear: Glue the bear's ears to the back of the mitt near the top, pointed tip down. Guy: Glue Guy's hair to the top of the mitt, then glue the ears on either side of his face. Of course, you could leave Guy bald, if you like! Slip the puppet over your hand and have some make-believe fun!
Tip: The mitt-shaped hand puppet is very versatile and can be used as the basis for just about any character your play requires.
