I found these adorable NO SEW puppets on Pinterest last year
and fell in love with them (original website and free pattern here). I made a
set for myself and then attended a Relief Society meeting where all the ladies
got to make a set for their own families. It was a lot of fun, and the puppets
are so stinkin’ cute! In the hustle and bustle of the holidays though, I never
did share these on here so you just barely get to see them now. Don’t worry
though, there’s still time to make a set for your family before Christmas gets
here!
When I made mine I used a hot glue gun to hold together the
front and back pieces and to glue on the chunkier embellishments such as
ribbons and beads, but I used Tacky Glue to put on everything else. If I were
to make these again, I would definitely use the hot glue for everything as I've
had to re-glue several of the smaller felt pieces this year as Erik plays with
them.
I love that this is a way for Erik to really get involved when
we talk about or read the Christmas story. He loves the bright colors and the
soft felt. My favorite is when he mimics the face the angel is making; I wish I
had a picture to share because it’s pretty funny!
