Today me and my sister came up with another idea. Finger Dresses. Finger dresses are similar to finger puppets, only they're dressed up in real clothes that you can make yourself! For our finger dress we used cherry printed fabric. The dresses are really easy to make. To make one, all you do is take a piece of fabric in your choice of colour/print, fold it in half, sketch the dress on the fabric, cut your sketch and sew it together. If you want you can also draw a face on your finger to make it look like more of a puppet.
To make a finger puppet with arms, you have to sew from the top of the left side down to about the middle, then from the bottom of the left side, sew a little further up just so that a pencil (or whatever you're using as arms) can fit through. Try to make this symmetrical. Do the same thing on the right side. Now take your needle and thread and from the left sew a little to the right. Do the same thing from right to left and make sure that you have enough space for your finger to go through. Now you have a finger puppet. Poke a pencil through the side holes and you have a finger puppet with arms. You could also make your own arms using something other than a pencil. Be creative!
If you want a finger puppet without arms follow the same instructions for the one with arms; only don't leave any side holes/sew the left and right sides completely up. Trim off some loose thread to make it look more finished. Now you have a finger dress without arms.
This is what a finished finger dress (without arms) looks like. Now you can put on a puppet show and have your fingers look great!!!
