[@josephmilsark123]

Great tutorial Mr. Kreutinger. I made a box puppet once all from cardboard, hot glue, duct tape, packing tape and other materials. I learned from a tutorial by a woman named Janet who had made box puppets for a production of Avenue Q: School Edition. If you wanna see mine, I can tweet it to you.

[@PuppetNerd]

Sweet! Tweet away!

[@jdtloficial]

Very Good!!!

[@PuppetNerd]

Thanks!!!

[@zenith7128]

Hey! It’s me, Tyler from the science convention. Happy birthday! I would’ve wished you one when I was there but I didn’t know it was your belated bday! I’ve actually always liked puppets and wanted to know how people made and used them. I’ll be watching your vids, thank you for coming! It was really cool

[@PuppetNerd]

Great! I hope you enjoy the videos! Can’t wait to see the puppets you make!

[@PinProductionsNYC]

[@happybearstorytime7273]

I wish I could have seen Adam’s many videos years ago when I began making puppets. The results would have been much better.

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️

[@trudat1498]

Fun!

[@PuppetNerd]

Thanks!!!

[@trudat1498]

Adam, you are too nice. You know you don’t have to respond to all of the comments. 😉😊

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@bobkite5053]

Can i have a shout out plz

[@ckishu01]

YEAHH

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@pattystomper1]

You could simplify the trigger mechanism by making the mouth rest in the open position. Pulling the trigger would push the mouth closed.

[@apsaraangel8831]

Happy late birthday 😄

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@EliseLionwater]

Think I'm gonna build one for this year's Christmas video

[@PuppetNerd]

Great idea!!!

[@dalekbieber]

[@wolfethegamer8102]

Hey today is my mom birthday too 😁😁🥳

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ushere5791]

could you use something like a water pistol or spark gun as the grip?

[@lestermoreno3730]

GENIAL!!!!!!! :D

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️

[@carolinbabitha]

Will u make a video of making a 3 tier puppet stage.please.

[@jarellchery4468]

Hey, Adam Can you make me from cartoon to puppet like you did with jazza?

[@PuppetNerd]

Sorry. I am currently closed to commissions. But I’m sure my tutorials will help! kzbin.info/aero/PLeYjVOvIFYr-eMN0D65L70QkL4x26xCXx

[@erikolsen148]

0:24-heck yeah, Brynn O’Malley as Lucy!

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@johnthelizard7322]

amazing I was wondering how those boxes puppets were made

[@PuppetNerd]

I’m not sure how Rick made his. This was my approach though.

[@aidonmaatta6198]

Could you use the same trigger style for a ventriloquist dummy?

[@PuppetNerd]

Sure! Give it a try!

[@aidonmaatta6198]

Adam Kreutinger awesome! I will, I need to get my supplies then will send you a picture on Facebook or post it in the group! :)

[@kronkey9159]

You were my 4th grade teacher

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@johnthelizard7322]

question how many puppets do you have including the one's you sold?

[@PuppetNerd]

I have no idea.

[@mcrproductions6756]

How much would a monster puppet cost usually for you materials wise

[@PuppetNerd]

Depends on the design And scale.

[@mcrproductions6756]

Your pattern

[@danhornby6322]

Loving watching all the videos. But have always been interested in how they made kermit. I made one a while back from an old kermit "teddy" toy. Can you show us how to make a kermit?

[@danhornby6322]

I know there is probably copyright issues etc but see many channels make replicas and have no issues

[@PuppetNerd]

Sorry. I don’t make replicas.

[@danhornby6322]

Fair enough. Would you consider a lizard similar to above mentioned? Also is it my imagination or is the white rabbit puppet the same or similar to the one Darcy uses?

[@jordanezell5132]

Can you teach us how turne a plastic skeleton into a puppet?

[@AssSensei]

I really hope he does that! It'll probably happen closer to October though, since that's when those tend to be available.. :(

[@PuppetNerd]

I actually planned on doing that this past year. But we had just had a baby. Didn’t have the time. Hoping to do it next year!

[@jordanezell5132]

Ace G Yeah, I hear ya.

[@AssSensei]

@@PuppetNerd Hopefully you get the chance! I'm excited for all your projects!!

[@jordanezell5132]

Adam Kreutinger Really looking forward to it! Bless y’all.🤗

[@fishgerbil8123]

Actually happy birthday

[@_beh]

“It’s my birthday and I got myself a present!” That’s... really sad...

[@PuppetNerd]

“I MADE myself a present.” Big difference.

[@ItsViolaRose]

That’s the best kind of present tbh

[@tourman09]

the link to the template for the trigger mech is no longer working :(

[@chanthoeundee]

Can you make a Muppet camera test please

[@PuppetNerd]

???

[@jacqueszeehond1251]

Do you already have or want to make a video about how you made Arlo? Or a puppet like him?

[@PuppetNerd]

Which Arlo?

[@sineadmcmullan5605]

I have build one too

[@Sewingmachineworkshop1]

😃👍👍👍
