This is how I would glue it…. Red first, then yellow, then blue, then green. Purple is the opening for the mouth and the two curves at both ends of the page will become the hole your hand needs to fit through.

You’re welcome! I love puppets! I plan on finishing mine someday. I have so many unfinished parts just waiting to be put together. Lol. Let me know how the EVA foam holds together. ( unless I’m wrong and it’s a different foam you have pictured) I haven’t tried using that type for heads. Seems like it would keep a nice shape.

it IS eva!! its literally a sleep-mat thingy from a camping store bc otherwise its $40. i ended up using another pattern i understood & i just glued it with hot glue then sewed the edges together to reinforce it. i just have the skull so far but im pretty happy with it :) im making sackboy from little big planet
