Follow basic instructions for finger puppets on page 35.
NOSE AND EYES: Pinch a small portion of the sock together in the middle
of the face and tie off—dab with red paint. Sew on one button eye and
make a black patch for the other. Make evil looking black eyebrows from
yarn (Figure 1).
MOUTH: From red felt, cut a wide, sly, grinning mouth. Remove a small
portion from the center to give an open grin. Add a gruesome tooth or
two and a villainous black mustache (Figure 2).
BEARD: Add yarn or fringed felt around the chin and sides of the face.
At the top of the beard, add a few longer strands of wild looking hair
(Figure 3).
DRESS: Make a bandana from bright spotted material and tie it around the
top of the head, knotting the ends at one side. Hang brass curtain rings
on for earrings. For the shirt, take a black colored sock and cut it off
at the heel. For arm holes, make a slit on each about 1″ down from the
top of the cuff. Slip over the puppet and turn down top for a turtle
neck effect. Add a belt from leatherette and paint the skull and cross
bones in the center (Figure 4).
