Hand-made sock puppet steps

1. Select socks. Try to find knee-length socks so that you can put them on for a doll performance without making the doll look like half your arm. Never choose socks with stains or holes.

Choose a sock color that matches the character's personality. Striped socks make the character look bright and happy, while pure black makes the character full of mystery or guilt. If you want your socks to represent the role of animals, use socks that are similar in color to the animals themselves.

2. Put socks in your hands and arms. When you put on the doll, the cloth between your thumb and forefinger pokes a hole inward to form a mouth. In addition, the wrist is at right angles to the arm so that the audience can distinguish the head from the body.

This is the fastest way to make a sock puppet. If you want to be more creative, you can search other more elaborate and complicated production methods online.

Add eyes. You can find all kinds of eyes in the local handicraft shop. Choose a big stare to make your character look a little unreal. Of course, you must also ensure that your eyes match your role. Glue your eyes.

It's also cute to use a lesbian ball as your eyes. They add some shapes to the outline of ordinary socks, making it easier to support glass eyes.

4. Add additional functions. Sock puppets can be the simplest shapeless, or they can be gorgeous and fashionable. Add a tongue made of non-woven fabric, hair made of a ball of thread, ribbon, tie or anything that your sock puppet can wear.
