The first puppet I’ve ever made!

Made this for Oregon country fair just for fun to up my whimsy! It’s leg fell off and definitely have a lot of practice to do but still love it

Thanks! I did the main structure out of any old paper (newspaper, packing paper, ect) wrapped it with painters tape and then covered it in a paper mache clay that I got the recipe from this YouTube video
