Follow the basic instruction for the finger puppets on page 35.
FEATURES: Cut toe from second sock, turn inside out and sew to a
narrower end (Figure 1). Turn, stuff and stitch to the face. Embroider
two nostrils at the tip and sew on a red mouth. Cut two circles of brown
felt and sew to each side of the head. Add bright buttons or beads to
complete the eyes. For a sleepy look, use flat button eyes and sew
crescent-shaped pieces of felt over so that only the bottom half of the
eyes shows. Embroider eyelashes, or cut them from felt, if you want to
give Mr. Billy Goat a coy expression.
EARS AND HORNS: Cut ears as shown and sew to the top of the head (Figure
2). Make horns from white felt, sewing them into a tube. Insert pipe
cleaners into the tubes so that they can be bent to the desired shape.
Sew firmly to the top of the head, pushing pipe cleaners down into the
head a bit. Curve horns backwards (Figure 3).
WHISKERS: Add a pom pom (wound only 10 times) under the chin and trim to
a point.
TRIM: Add a high, formal white collar with a black bow tie. Make a pair
of spectacles from thin wire with the nose piece setting well towards
the tip (Figure 4).
