Exactly what I needed for my school marionette project. We were asked to make marionettes and demonstrate how to use them.

[@TommyGK]

This is the most helpful Video on the marionette puppet making process I could have possibly hoped for... Thank you.

[@spasticpug5209]

Awesome Tommy! May I suggest adding more strings to the head so you can guide where the puppet looks?

[@TommyGK]

Not a bad suggestion, I can experiment with it and see what happens!

[@sheikorbit]

Six years later...where can I find me enough newspaper to make this marionette.

I’m making my own Clay Puppet in Ceramics Class, I haven’t decided what I want it to look like yet. The only thing I have to worried about is how would I make it move or debate if yarn string will work or not.

Ah now this is gonna help with my marionette...perfect One question tho: what can I use instead of chain?

[@rian6564]

string

[@Spamlety]

5:53 shows an alternative 😊

[@dino_404]

@@Spamlety I don’t have 😑

[@Spamlety]

@@dino_404 string, yarn, wire, rubber bands, possibly hoop earrings, part of a key chain, etc. You can also buy the one alternative for a cheap price at like 5 below, other than that I have no idea 🤷🏼‍♀

[@sphoorthitheatre7146]

Hi Tommy, I just wnated to know if you could make a marionette's legs movement too or instructions for the strings to be attached for the legs

[@TommyGK]

You can watch me make something like you requested. A marionette with movable feet. I added another stick to the cross for the feet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIqnhod3gL5onrMm35s I will definitely consider making a video on what you wish to see.

[@sphoorthitheatre7146]

Thank you so much. I shall surely watch it and get back. God bless you!

[@AP_FAMILY19]

Is we can use normal papper to cover the hands neither toilet papper nor tissue papper

[@fratking2494]

[@neerajk.r1832]

Instead of chain can we use any other things

[@TommyGK]

Yes you can :)

[@bread4570]

I will name him dan dancing dan

[@theboundless05]

I might use this to make the Ebenezer scrooge puppet from the polar express.

[@TommyGK]

Awesome! I'm glad I was able to provide a helpful base! Have a safe crafting experience!

[@lindabeyette1772]

I love technique you have gone for your Marinette I am thinking making my own how do we build up my newspaper pile last week or two weeks ago I have done way more than my share of newspapers you need to cut down help your arms it’s way too long it’s out of the portion looks like you are a beginner Will you do your arms in your hands you hand it out of the pot a portion to two big

Time to become kankuro

[@shanashirin2966]

The safety warnings were really helpful

[@benl-burghfan6015]

If I were to buy the chain at let’s say Home Depot, what size chain should I tell the worker?

[@TommyGK]

I use 1/8 size chain :)

[@benl-burghfan6015]

ThankS! Great work on the video as well 🙂

[@sureshbhad9118]

Can we make this puppet using foil paper

[@TommyGK]

It's worth a try!

[@2cvte2kill]

Can the hands of it is a circle? Because when I tape the pieces together they bend and look weird... Yours is better than mine. but!!!! People will find that video so useful! Your like a heart to people ♥️♥️♥️

[@TommyGK]

It can be just a circle, you can try making paws if hands are too hard ^_^

[@dayukomang9527]

Can you use toilet papper role?

[@debatinandi1441]

Can we take water and dip paper in it and make the required shape

Can blank paper also be used for head and body?

It can tho I don't recommend it as it isnt as soft as newspaper
