I have never had any interest in making a puppet before, but I want to now. I'm not sure how this video made it on my recommend list, but I'm glad it did.

I still remember as A child in 7th grade we had a big presentation we had to do with puppets, I made 8 puppets by myself with my money ,made the script and choreo also myself (my team of 5 didnt care about the project) and got horribly bullied because every other team comisioned professionals to do the puppets and their parents wrote their presentations. To this day that event broke something inside me I never got back. I was the poor kid on a scholarship on a rich kids highschool. never told this story to anyone. this was almost 18 years ago.

Look everyone, it’s Elbo. No relation to Elmo (Sesame Street trademark).

Looks like Elmo decided to dye himself purple

THIS IS PERFECT I been wanting to make wally darling from welcome and with this I can

Finally, there's a video on how to make a puppet without sewing Because I'm 12 and I don't know how to sew THANKS!!!😁👍 Edit: thank you for 200 likes😊

Material list: Sharpie Medium firmness foam (from couch cushion) Electric knife Razor blade Scissors Plastic bin (or lid) Felt Spray adhesive Fur Hot glue Puppet arm rods ( Wooden dowel handles Dremel tool Metal rods Welding mask? Epoxy Drill) Ping pong balls Velvet dots for pupils

I am 57 and always loved puppets since I could sit in front a TV. This was my dream to make my own puppet, I am putting the finishing pieces on tomorrow, I will try to share Pic of it

Watching this video just reignited a little fire in my heart and brought back so many memories. I had a small puppet when I was a child and learning how to manoeuvre it for skits and games was so much fun! That puppet was given away to someone else a long time ago... but now I'm feeling inspired to make a new buddy all my own. :D

*sighs* *adds puppetry to my growing list of to-do hobbies*

Wally Darling will be in my hands one day

Not sure why youtube recommended this, but I'm glad it did. Right up my alley. I love trying new crafts with materials that I already have. Well..I don't have furry fabric but I have other stuff! lol Time to go try to make the kids some FNAF puppets!

I am making a puppet soon and I thought the sewing would be my roadblock, thank you.

You must be incredibly fun to shop with! My husband and I drive people crazy because we aren't just looking at what things are, but also at what they could become! The entire world becomes a playground, and inspiration can be anywhere!! I'm glad I found this video... I think I'll be subscribing!

Making a puppet without sewing?! Wow, that’s amazing! It’s definitely gonna help me build my first puppet soon!

I had no intention of making a puppet when I saw this in my suggestions. I had to watch it though, just to see how it could be done. Brilliant! Who knows maybe I might make this someday. Also, thank you for making this video for those who are interested in puppetry and making their own puppets, but can't sew. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to do something creative. It was very kind of you to put so much effort into figuring out how to make this possible.

I know the chances of you seeing this comment on a 2 year old video are slim, but I want to give you my most heartfelt thank you for all the tutorials you create & share. A couple years ago my best friend Shawn & I found a gif of a little red jester Sesame Street style puppet who was boxing 😂 He had little balled up fists & would jab a punching bag & something about him just made us love him! We had no idea where he was from, but we'd use the gif all the time. Hed been sick his whole life, but 2022/23 was the worst. An anti rejection medication he had to take to keep his body from rejecting a kidney he'd had transplanted years back had caused skin cancer, which he'd been battling for years, but the treatment was hard on his one kidney, so we had to go for tests constantly to monitor his kidney function over the course of his cancer treatment. It would usually decrease a bit, but would always bounce back, but in late summer of 22 it stopped bouncing back. So we weren’t able to continue his cancer treatment. Then on Christmas Eve of that year (which I spent 2 hours from home in the hospital with him) we learned he didn't have much time left. His one wish was to just be home, so we moved heaven & earth to make that happen & I tried to bring as much light, joy, happiness & positivity into what days he had left. He was a silly guy with a great & sense of humor & one day while we were in his living room doing wound care we started talking about the puppet (to distract him & help the time pass quicker) & we came up with a whole backstory for the puppet, who he coined "Piff Piff Patterson" 😂 His job & hobbies, where he was from, his favorite outfit etc lol & he became a much loved little character to us, almost our mascot We talked about trying to find one online to order, but we couldnt find one anywhere. He & I both loved the classic Sesame Street episodes from our childhood & were always jokingly singing parts of songs like "Smell a smell, sniff a sniff take a bweath" & reciting "a loaf of bread, a container of milk & a stick of butter" & sharing old Sesame Street videos from RU-vid with each other. I think our love of Classic Sesame Street had something to do with why we loved this little puppet so much. But I couldn't find him anywhere. The most I found was some info that it was from commercials in another country, but everything was in another language so it didnt help. I'd thought about trying to make one but had no idea what materials to use or how to even go about it, I'm so glad I found your channel & appreciate the content your making, because although I won't be able to give it to him. I'm hoping I can attempt to create this little jester puppet & have him as a tribute to him. I know he'd have been so excited & woukd have loved it so much. So again, if you happen to find this message, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's the little things in life that make the biggest ripples & your content has made my day & given me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can actually bring this little puppet to life ❤

Thanks, this appeared in my recommendations and now I want to make a puppet

I have no idea how this video ended up in my recommendations, but I loved it, it really made me want to make a puppet

This seems like something good for quick to make backround characters

If Elmo had a brother this is how he would look😂

This guy: says one sentence The guy on synths: *just goes crazy*

I LOVE Puppets & Muppets 😻 How am I JUST finding out about this?! Gonna make puppets all day, everyday. Just because Puppets are LIFE ❤️

Dude.THS IS AMAZING!!!.the puppet looks like elmo so you cant buy a elmo replica!! . I love this!🥰

I do a film study in cinematography. I recently started a Puppet Film project because of this video. I think i'm falling in love with the concept of Puppets and making Puppets. I now have 2 Dumpster Puppets and an Evil Cowboy puppet for my film. And i adore the entire thing.

I'm Easton and I am 10 and I've been a puppeter for 6 years and your I'm your biggest fan and sometimes I got bullied by interest of puppets but about a month ago I heard that my mom 's friend at work 's mom was friends with Jim Henson! I want to go to puppet camp but my parent's said no but the person that now's Jim suggested a puppet camp in Minnesota called something like puppets of America but I want to see my hero thanks for a lot keep making banger vids !

Just found this channel. Love it Jim Henson would be proud.

This puppet's name is EVERY MOMENT IS HELLmo.

I fell in love once the arms went on! Now I have a project for a rainy weekend sometime!

I am hardly trying to recreate the Karl Heisenberg puppet for my sister birthday so THANK YOU ✨

Believe it or not, this was pretty much how I attempted to fabricate my first ever puppet build way back in 2004 - not necessarily because I was inexperienced in sewing (although that was part of it), but also because I was in such a rush to finish before the follow week (and great, I had never built a puppet before), and this seemed a lot less time-consuming than sewing.

I just started making puppets and your videos have been SUPER helpful for me. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and tips!!!!

Not me watching this to create my own Wally 💀🤚

This adorable puppet is so cute! I would love to take up a project like that.

Okay, my teacher told me to make a puppet due next week, and I want to do the Wally Darling [A.K.A Welcome Home Puppet Show] but my mom says I can't, my teacher wants the puppet to move, so I'm desperately looking for a video that teaches how to do it. After this video, it will be easier to do. Thank you and best wishes for Adam

Anyone using this to make a Wally Darling puppet?

Just discovered your channel and never realized how much I want to make puppets. Your awesome!

this is how I've been making puppets ever since I started 2001.

I really am impressed how u created purple Elmo. Hot glue gun....... Genius! It's by far the coolest puppet project I ever seen. 😎

Adorable! Super cute, and thank you Adam!

Welcome home fans rn : I'm gonna use that information for evil

I haven't a clue why the RU-vid algorithm decided this was a video I needed to see. I have not once in my life been interested in puppeteering, much less consume its related content online. However, I don't think I've wanted to follow a DIY tutorial more in my entire life, this looks like a blast to make and a fun thing to bring out at parties once everyone's wasted. I will be making this, thank you.

I have never once been interested in making puppets but now I find myself binge watching all of your videos

OH MY GAWD! Why do you keep inspiring me? First your Cake Puppet made me do a pretty awesome Hamburger Puppet as Cosplay prop. But this now inspired me for a full on cosplay and I already started working on it 10 seconds ago

You know, Adam, this video is pretty cool, and this is exactly how I made my own puppets.

This video brought me a ridiculous amount of joy! And now I want to make a puppet myself.

Hoping to see more food puppets. Grapes, ear of corn, maybe a T-bone steak? Not sure how to approach food puppets but very interested in making some. You’re videos are amazing and I’m grateful you so this. Thanks!!!

this is so incredibly impressive and cool. subscribed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this (and your other vids)! I'm headed into my first now and feel confident it will lead me down a path towards "sewing techniques" and "professional glues and foams". lol. The work hanging behind you has me inspired.

Your generosity with your talent is very inspiring and we all appreciate it. Thank you, BRAVO!!

I used this method for my final in one of my college courses. love puppets!

I’ve been watching this channel for a year or two now, and I’ve never felt that I could make a puppet myself, as I didn’t have the money, tools, or creativity in my eyes. However rewatching this video I definitely feel a lot more confident in trying it! And the underbite idea made me think to make a dragon with an overbite. Thanks, Adam!

Woah! You just whipped up a quality puppet :0 I wasn't even considering this, but you made me feel like I could totally do it ♥

I was making a puppet out of cardboard and some stuff I saw yours I am blown away. My mom saw a picture yesterday of a puppet and she said we can’t make that like at now. I’m surprised I am really really is loving it.

You are my hero, Adam. I've been looking for this video for a very long time.. Can't wait to make it for my son.

Thank you for showing us how to make a puppet! I am gonna make one for my Sunday school children!

So happy I found this channel. A few years ago there was like almost no information on how to build a puppet but now I can use your channel as a starting point.

Wow! It’s great! even with the pieces being glued together!

I love how simple your techniques are. I made puppets before, but now I could make them better. Thanks

What an awesome tutorial- thank you!

Loved this video! I have already watched tons of videos from your channel but this one has given me the practical and simple means that will allow me to build my first puppet. I am not just saying it. I Actually got foam, a new glue gun, my first sewing machine, lots of fabric... I will be sure to show it to you as soon as I am done. Thanks for sharing your passion with the rest of us here on RU-vid!

amazing work Mr Kreutinger well done keep making amazing videos like this one

Thank you so much!! You have made my son happy that you taught me how to make a puppet! Great Teacher!!❤️👍

Make a puppet without sewing? That’s Incredible!

Thank you my daughter loved this thank you she hopes to be a puppeteer as well

Wow this takes me back to elementary school when I would make alligator hand puppets out of construction paper :) this is such a cool video! Thank you

Outstanding project....as usual. You always provide so many great ideas for inspiration...kudos!

I know how to sew, but I'm lazy. So this is a great tutorial lol

This was Supposed To Be A School Project To Make a Puppet Then I Built This Puppet and Brought It to school but I ended Up Talking With My Hand In My Classroom

Bro this video is more intresting than school

I wanted to make a speech for my public speaking class about the importance of physicality to represent emotions, and I think I might make a puppet to do so! Great instructions for a beginner, very excited to get to work!

It was the way my brother & I used to built ours. Thank you so much for these amazing tecniques to inprove our puppetry

Mom can we have Elmo? Mom: We have Elmo at home Elmo at home:

i adore the presentation of this so much! reminds me of the shows i watched as a kid that got me into making art

Mesmerizing ... Such a wonderful process to watch .😀

Show!!!!!! Bom trabalho!!!! Parabéns!!! 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

It looks amazing! I hope this tutorial encourages more people to make puppets. 😊

Thank you for sharing your talent.

I think we all have a young man from Mississippi to thank for all all puppets, starting with some fellow named Rolwf. Good job Puppet Nerd!

I decided a couple days ago to make a Henson-esque puppet and was planning to find some tutorials when I had a day off, what timing for this to be in my recommendeds! Now to get some new furs

I made teddy bears when I was still in in primary school so sewing wont be a problem but I watched this video just to get the basic idea of how to do it. Thank you, this was very informative 😁👍🏻 Ps. Hi from South Africa😊

thank you for literally one of the best tutorials ive seen

its all fun and games till a notepad appears and asks "whats your favorite idea?"

This was awesome and very helpful. I started Puppetry over a year ago and I’m starting to have it interest of building some of my own. You are very talented and I admire you were very much Adam. I hope to get in contact with you someday to maybe do a collaboration ?.

Puppet crafting and puppeteering/acting is pure magic in my eyes

I’m Yned Ashera and I love your puppets

AMAZING tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, you're the best

Gracias por compartir este tutorial, me ha servido un montón abrazos

It's so cool! It got me super motivated to go and try doing my own, thanks a lot for such amount of detail in the info and your website! : D

Thanks for this tutorial! I just made my first puppet! A Sasquatch for a crowdfunding pitch video. I couldn’t be happier and more proud of the result. Buying one would not have given the same satisfaction. Thanks again!

I’m pretty crafty but had never made a puppet before. These instructions were great! Mine looks amazing!

I loved this! Thank you! Perfect because hot glue and a stapler is how I sew🤣

My son is obsessed with Jim Hansen and puppet making. I will definitely be trying to do this. Thank you so much for posting 😊

Thanks a lot ! For a few months I wanted to start making a puppet like this one, without really understanding how to do it. This video is perfect ! The explanations are very clear, the plans complement what you say well. Your video definitely made me want to get started, thank you so much!

Thank you for the inspiration brother, I'm going to try and make one as a weekend project.

I'm a jack of all artist & we all have our way of doing things thanks so much for your creative insight on this. love it can't wait to make one. Keep up the awesome work💞

man made elmo lol

This tutorial is perfect. Perfect!

This project has inspired me to have a go... having trouble getting all the supplies so far but staying positive...
