Princess Finger Puppets



A couple months ago I ran into just about the cutest little finger puppets I ever did see.  Jill over at Made it on Monday came up with these pretty little princess puppets and I just haven't been able to get over at how darling they are.  I couldn't resist making some for my niece for Christmas this last year.



Perfect for a pretty little princess puppet show.


Jill glued hers together but I chose to sew some of the pieces and then use fusible webbing to put the rest of it together.  I just can't resist using fusible webbing when doing felt projects.


 . . . And a perfect little castle purse to store all those little princesses in.

I used stiff felt for my castle bag and extend Jill's pattern to make the castle a little bit longer.


The best part is that Jill was nice enough to share her patterns with all of us.  I just LOVE it when bloggers do that.  Thanks Jill!  Stop by Made it on Monday to get your own.


I just love these little dolls . . .

  10. Can I ask how did you keep everything so neat? I am working on mine now- printing out templates and cutting them then cutting the felt out using those. They just don't look as clean and crisp as your version! Thanks for any tips

    1. Vanessa,
      A pair of really sharp small sewing scissors make a huge difference in cutting out all the little pieces. If you do a lot of crafts it's worth investing in a pair. I use the ginger brand.

  11. Thank you, I will definately be purchasing some soon! What kind of felt are you using here? Wool felt? Where is a good place to buy it in bulk if possible- thanks again!

    1. I just use the inexpensive sheets that you can buy at any craft store for 20 cents a piece--nothing fancy. Sorry I don't know about a place to buy in bulk.
