Adam, I'm a retired Professor, an experienced puppet maker. YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER! I love the thoroughness and clarity of your lessons. Thank you for sharing so much of your experience and skill !
I just want to thank you for all your tutorials. I was tasked with creating Olaf for the Middle School's musical this year. I've never made a puppet before and I didn't know where to begin. I NEVER could have done it without your tutorials! Thank you so much! I still wish I could remake it, I've learned so much. But thanks to you, the school has a working Olaf puppet!
I watch your videos every night before bed. My day job is in behavioral health and your videos help me decompress enough to sleep. Thank you for being you and making such amazing videos! Maybe one day I'll try to make a puppet of my own
I saw someone in TikTok today make a puppet of themselves and it's lead me to your channel and this series. It's been so fascinating to watch I can't wait to give it a try!
I watch all your videos and have made 3 puppets for my grandson. He loves them! My new one is the Professor. Next I will attempt a body. This is so fun! Wish me luck. You make it look so easy. You're so talented.
Thanks so much Adam, you're the best! I was able to make two wonderful puppets, following your directions. I am thrilled. Just FYI I made the eyes with polymer clay, worked like a charm.
I have been living on your channel for the last two weeks while working on my first puppet. Such great information. Now I see you're dealing with cancer. Crestfallen man. I'm pulling for you. I just lost my Mom to her second round of breast cancer. I hope for the best for you. Stay positive and stay away from sugar (cancer gasoline).
Adam I am 10 years old but I have much appreciated your kindness to me when you answer my questions I’m getting my own workshop soon and I want to have my own Etsy shop I definitely need to collab with you some time for “business purposes”
Amazing you inspire me to make puppets and keep trying to matter how much I fail or how bad it is keep up the amazing work you are helping people all around the work you are amazing
Adam, your videos are very well done. Your puppets are outstanding and your skills are Top Notch. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Please keep the videos coming.
He is looking good! I'd like to see the live hand tutorial, especially since you mentioned clothing the puppet and I'd like to see how the clothes are modified to accommodate your hands. Good tips here too by the way!
Adam thanks so much, love the puppets, I am making one like yours, your a wonderful teacher you make it look so easy and very fun to make, I plan to use the puppets that I make for helping to teach music theory 101, for young and old alike. The possibilities are endless! Thank you so much.
This video series keeps on getting better and better. Thanks for all the effort that you put into making these. ALSO BIG Thanks for the knowledge shared. P.s Live hand please
This video is soooo good. I have watched a few of your videos in the past couple of days and they are all great for instruction. I am creating my first puppet and I'm so excited. Thanks.
Oh, that tongue is great! I've been doing pretty flat heart shapes, but I love the 3D effect. I think a live-hand puppet would be great to see! I have a pattern I used for two monsters, but the arms are super-thin for the hands, and I want to see how you handle that.
Hi Adam, I have a quick question do you know if you could make like an ear pattern it would be very helpful to me a puppet maker starter Anyways thank you for inspiring me to pursue my passion of making puppets your videos always help me a lot and how you do them makes it really easy to understand and enjoy even when I’m not making puppets I enjoy watching your videos thank you!
I have finished my first puppet! It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. (I'll post a pic after I get her in costume.) I'm so grateful for your help and generosity, I'm going to do something nice for you. I pose puppet characters in my children's books. In my latest book, I'll use the puppet you helped me make, Ms. Oky Doky, from the "Now" TV Network. (Guess who the inspiration for that character is?) I'm including you in the acknowledgments! I'll let you know when that book is ready to publish. Give me your address and I'll send you a copy! Thanks again! You rock!
Thanks i made my very own puppet now i just need to learn how to make the legs then i will sow em together but for now i have the eyes the mouth and hair and eye brows thanks
Just a quick question please respond fast...if I made like a human/skeleton mix could I cut a triangle into the head then put in a black triangle for the nose?..like put the triangle IN the hole?
Hi Adam! I’m a big fan of your videos and I could use your help. I’m currently working on a new puppet. I wonder if you have and advise or technique for making a foam and fleece puppet like this with long ears that need to stand straight up like a rabbit??
Hi, what kind of contact cement you recommend me, I'm from Mexico. And can you please make a video tutorial of how to put hair in the puppet's head. Thanks a lot ! I love how you explain us everything 🤩
Awesome video. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I am trying to make puppets for our puppet team at our church. Do you have any different head patterns, ie, animals. Thanks again. Your voice is great and your tips and explanations are easy to understand. I'm 77 and love working with puppets but can't afford those $300 and $500 puppets. I can't wait to start on a puppet. Lyn Miller
Should this technique work for a "human" shaped nose (if you cut the foam and fleece in that shape)? I've been successful with round and oblong noses, but have never gotten a technique that works for more of a person-shaped shnoz. Might have to try it just to see. Thank you for your series of puppet videos! Keep 'em coming!!
Hi Adam. Great video series! Me and my kids are creating our first puppets based on this pattern. We're having a lot of fun and your video's are a big help. I was wondering if you have plans to do a video on eye mechanisms in the future? Mark me down for a rod puppet on this one! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hi Andrew! First of all, thank you so much for these straight forward videos- it's exactly what i've been looking for and really appreciate them! I was wondering if you could help me... Trying to order foam from foam online and would love your suggestions for sizing. In videos you said you use half inch thick for head, and inch thick for body of dry fast foam. The form is asking for Length, width and height. What numbers would you put in these boxes for a couple puppets worth of foam? Thank you!
Hey Adam! Great video series! Do you have any suggestions for making eyebrows that I can move around on my puppet’s forehead for different expressions? If I use Velcro will that destroy the felt on my puppet’s face over time? Thanks!
Althought it would look better if it was a rod arm, live hands would be intwresting to make a tutorial out of! Or maybe do a tutorial just about the clothes and later about live hands! I would love to see how u make the clothes ^^
(Sorry about the weird picture I'm using my brother's tablet) but anyway I love the tutorial soon I am going to create my own puppet and make a show with it for children so watch out Mr you'd better not stop making amazing puppets because this 12 year old is coming for you 😇😋🎉
I’m not quite sure what you are asking, but if you follow these steps and use the same materials you will not see any deformities. The puppet will last a very long time with heavy use.
I personally think live hands would go best based on the body shape and also there is the fact that you have made a rod hands video before I'm on team live hands

Another great video! Thank you
This is great! But the moment before you put the eyes on, and there’s just glue and pins....may be the creepiest thing I’ve seen in a while 😅😂
Lol
I'm going to try to make the snoof puppet!
Can’t wait to see it!!!
Thanks, I only have felt though, will it still work?
@@PuppetNerd Thanks I only have felt, should I use a shirt or something instead?

now im goin to goin creative crazy design my own puppets
I love your videos. i was wondering, will you ever do a video for a movable eye lid or eyebrow like what you see jn gonzo and bert?
any chance of making a puppet legs tutorial? my grand-daughter is a big fan of jeffy
Hey Adam can u do live hand since i don't know how to make them, and you already did a tutorial on rod arm.
Hi, what kind of contact cement you recommend me, I'm from Mexico. And can you please make a video tutorial of how to put hair in the puppet's head. Thanks a lot ! I love how you explain us everything 🤩
There is already a puppet hair video to put in the puppet's head.
Lol your puppet looks like a green Bean. And it looks really accurate
Lol. Thanks!
Ur welcime

I see in the 48hr filming video on FB he is a live hand puppet!

I've been successful with round and oblong noses, but have never gotten a technique that works for more of a person-shaped shnoz. Might have to try it just to see. Thank you for your series of puppet videos! Keep 'em coming!!
I'll go with the Live-Hands. I'm interested to see what they look like with that type of body and head shape. :)
What if we glue flees on the foam first, and then cut the pattern n paste together, ni need to make extra flees cover??
Enserio haces que uno se enamore de los titeres! Y dan ganas de hacerlos todos....
Could you teach us to make the legs and foot?
Would be nice to see how a live hand is put together ;)
I think a sleeve that works it sticks out which would usually be out of frame to look like the arm is basically bent.
Amazing. If I’m ever making one, I think I would be talking the puppet through what I’m doing the whole time, reassuring it 😂 is this just me? Ok...
Haha! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!

You’ve probably gone over this already but what kind of stitch do you use when hand sewing? Is it the Henson stitch?
Can you teach us to make a live hand puppet
Can you make one on puppet clothes?
Hey Adam! Great video series! Do you have any suggestions for making eyebrows that I can move around on my puppet’s forehead for different expressions? If I use Velcro will that destroy the felt on my puppet’s face over time? Thanks!
Hi Adam can you do another eBay puppet like this puppet?
I’m hoping to soon.
Althought it would look better if it was a rod arm, live hands would be intwresting to make a tutorial out of! Or maybe do a tutorial just about the clothes and later about live hands! I would love to see how u make the clothes ^^
Thank you for sharing this informative video! I just subscribed! In case you don't have eyes, I am, in fact a puppet with a matching nose! xo
I will be sewing by hand fyi... I know, I know...
Do you guys know a good place to find the Antron fleece? I've looked everywhere and no luck...
You should do rod arms and human arms and make them so you can swap them in and out at any time you want
As much as I'd love to see your take on live hand, he does look like rod would be the better approach. Why not do both? :)
i'm making a cat puppet and the video really helped! thanks for all of your hard work! can you a video on how to make animal ears?
I’m planning on a video soon!!!
hey mr.kreutinger can u make video of how to make blinking eyes for a puppet
TheButter Max , you mean like big bird?
Boo you called him mr hahahhahahah
Not with that attitude
What colour thread do you use in this video
Hi adam
(Sorry about the weird picture I'm using my brother's tablet) but anyway I love the tutorial soon I am going to create my own puppet and make a show with it for children so watch out Mr you'd better not stop making amazing puppets because this 12 year old is coming for you 😇😋🎉
Very fantastic this mold! , hi friend the head this puppet
where I find the mold of this head
Good job master tnk.
Do you have any tips for gluing in hollow eyes? I’m using ping pong balls and I’m worried about exposed glue
I would like it to be a live hand puppet because live hand puppets can pick things up with no problem!
Thank you 😊
Rod- but show us how to make them removable?
I LOVE YORE PUPPET
Can we use Rubber Cement instead of Contact Cement?
Nice!!
Hai Adam, i'd like to know what kind of paint to color the eva sponge tongue? Thank You..
I use dye.
@@PuppetNerd dye for fabric? Just soak the eva into dye+water in few hours or just paint it? Do you have video how to dye eva for the tounge puppet?
Will the nose method be good with a monster or should I glue it on
It would work for any kind of character. I will always recommend sewing the nose on but of course glue will work.
This helps a lot thx
How did you did the hair
th-cam.com/video/jk-7Rjf_l5w/w-d-xo.html
i have this cool puppet show script.i make flowers too
Hello Adam, Great video! Because of all the materials on the foam, Does it weigh down on the puppet causing it to deform over time?
I’m not quite sure what you are asking, but if you follow these steps and use the same materials you will not see any deformities. The puppet will last a very long time with heavy use.
Thanks
1:41 blew my mind
I personally think live hands would go best based on the body shape and also there is the fact that you have made a rod hands video before
I'm on team live hands
