Hippie Guy



This hippy guy was never used in a puppet show. He was just a demonstration model for a kids puppet making workshop.  But I think he's got a lot of character for being a nobody!

Head: styrofoam ball. This ball happens to be green.
Eyes: google eyes, glued on the styrofoam head.
Nose: button
Mouth: a piece of red yarn, glued on.

Hair: super bulky yarn.  The predominate color is brown, with some blues and purples. The yarn came with all of these colors in one skein.  Some feathers are stuck in his hair for effect.


I stuck the yarn into the head using pieces of wire. I unwound some of the yarn to give it a more hair-like look.


Body: dowel stuck into a piece of fabric, then into the styrofoam head.
