Jim would have been proud!

[@benspaperpuppets]

Thanks so much, I do hope so!

[@dude376]

What are the measurements ¿

[@benspaperpuppets]

@@dude376 The template of the design can be found via a link in the description, it was designed for A4 paper.

[@mrroomfann]

This is very creative! Gotta make one myself definitely!

[@benspaperpuppets]

Ah, thanks, please do and I would love to know how you get on!

[@TW100aw]

Your Kermit voice is good!

[@benspaperpuppets]

Lovely to hear, thank you 🙏

[@Nuggetthechick8]

Thank you for giving me the free template Ben stanley

[@benspaperpuppets]

You are welcome!

[@BusterRobot]

I’m so happy the template is free

[@benspaperpuppets]

Hope the build goes well, if you try it!

[@JadeCatty]

Thank you so much! Now I can make any puppet!

[@benspaperpuppets]

You are welcome 😊 Yes the body, legs and arms can be pretty universally adapted to other puppets.

[@kelusitepitbeautifulwoman4154]

I'd love to create them n speak my language. Mikmaq. Endangered... not many speakers left. This would help.for sure. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@benspaperpuppets]

That's the great thing, these puppets can speak any language you want!

It's too hard to make Kermit the Frog 😡

[@IrvingBlackwell]

Hey i did it

[@bhabysabillo]

Thats your problem 😂

[@Silviagu195]

Its Hard

[@Willkniceley654]

@@bhabysabillo nah it’s your own problem

[@alexandergonzalez2118]

No, The Jeffy Puppet Head Is Hard To Make

[@Skibidithesigmaman]

Is the Color paper construction paper and if not what is it?

[@benspaperpuppets]

It was regular colour paper, but I would say that colour construct paper would work best, for a sturdier puppet, ideally around 120-160gsm thickness

Talking Kermit the frog 🐸

[@tandalous]

I don't understand what the letters arre for on the template......do lowercase letters glue to uppercase letters?

[@benspaperpuppets]

Yes, exactly. So, for example, the tab with the capital A will glue to the area where you see the lower case a and so on

[@lpslover1215]

Wowwwww your so under rated this is amazin !!

[@benspaperpuppets]

Ah, thanks much, glad you like it 🙏

[@DaElfBoi]

Do beaker next :D

[@benspaperpuppets]

I have a few others lined up first, but Beaker is most definitely on the list to do!

[@samanthagonzalez28]

Can this be done on American printer paper? 8.5x11?

[@benspaperpuppets]

Letter size? If you print to scale you should be able to do it, yes. I think the design will be slightly smaller than on A4 paper, but not by very much.

[@UzzyWorks]

Your work is amazing! Brilliant!

[@benspaperpuppets]

Ah, thanks so much! Just checked out your channel loving your work 😀

[@UzzyWorks]

@@benspaperpuppets thank you very much 😊

Ribbit oh kermet I was a frog but meow

[@IrvingBlackwell]

[@jaketrap1983]

Omg!!! I make papper characters, but they're masks

[@benspaperpuppets]

Sounds cool, would love to see your work!

[@jaketrap1983]

You will, once I get a KZbin channel.

[@benspaperpuppets]

I look forward to it!

[@chuckthechicken9]

I don't understand What valley and mountain Stands for

[@benspaperpuppets]

A valley fold is where you fold the paper so the two sides of the fold line fold up towards you. A mountain fold is the opposite, so the two sides of the fold line, fold away fom you. Does that make sense?

[@Huntdown133]

thank you

[@abinn7717]

Nice puppet.I will try making that🤗

[@benspaperpuppets]

Fantastic, thanks, would love to hear how you get on!

[@cruzcondon4257]

[@Robert-pn7bh]

Is it okay if i can use this muppet while i order one?

[@benspaperpuppets]

Hi there, you are welcome to download the template from the description link and make a kermit puppet yourself, but they aren't orderable.

[@alfarosebastian7795]

Do Peter Griffin next

[@benspaperpuppets]

That would certainly be a challenge!

[@user-xy7wm8nk8d]

Hi Ben, I would love to make the Kermot puppet with my class. Do you provide the template at a cost.

[@benspaperpuppets]

Hi there, the template is free, you can find a link to it in the description of the video. Would love to see how you get on, tag me on Instagram @benspaperpuppets if you go ahead and give it a go 😁

Hi there, where I have said a template is available, check out the video description and you'l find a url link to the pdf to print out 😀

[@Ķėřmīť-e7g]

Bro, it’s literally too hard. Like how do you do the eyes do you just like find a golf ball out of the middle of nowhere? and besides, you could literally just buy one like on Tamu.

[@benspaperpuppets]

I use polystyrene balls for the eyes, you can get them at most craft shops. And you are absolutely right you could just buy one, but for me it is about the challenge of making it out of paper rather than having a puppet at the end of it.

[@Ķėřmīť-e7g]

@@benspaperpuppets too hard… just go send me in the mail

[@Coolestdolphin]

I bet he has not upload in 2 weeks cus he is working in a new puppet

[@benspaperpuppets]

Yep, that is exactly it (currently working on a Miss Piggy puppet). Unfortunately it isn't a quick process, but am also working on a way to get more regular posts up!

[@lolalelas7020]

Make jeffy

[@benspaperpuppets]

Great suggestion, will add to the list.

[@Baldibald2]

You're going to fast so I can't even get to it

[@benspaperpuppets]

Fair point, it can be a bit fast especially if you are following whilst trying to make it. (It's a challenge to balance showing everything and not putting up a 2 hour video!). Perhaps not a perfect solution, but you could slow the video down in the playback settings where needed, which would allow you to see any particularly technical bits with a bit more time.

[@KermitTheFrog604]

Hands will crap, It will break

[@benspaperpuppets]

Sorry to hear this, which part of the hands are breaking for you?

[@wilfordadamparrocha3659]

It's so fast I can't keep up😭

[@benspaperpuppets]

Hey there, the build will take a few hours, if you slow down the video speed in the video settings it should hopefully help, but of course you will need to keep pausing it as you go along as well. Hope that helps.

[@ItzMolidyTVMC]

Its tok fast bro
