It's great that you put in the recycling old puppets since it's one of the things Jim Henson loved doing

[@haruu5365]

A crochet Amigurumi puppet XD.

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lourdespachla6516]

I TURNED MYSELF INTO A PUPPET. IM PUPPET STEVE.

[@kenmaddex6939]

I have never attempted to make a puppet or do a puppet show let alone enter a contest. However now that I have a lot of time on my hands I'm up for the challenge. This is going to be fun!

[@PuppetNerd]

Sweet!

[@jorjahael8724]

I have followed you and made my own puppet with recycled things. Old foam seat. An old coat for material. I use the puppet for charity fundraising. Thank you Adam for teaching me to have the confidence to do this.

[@lexxier1]

I got to take classes at the center for puppetry arts

[@PuppetNerd]

Awesome! They are the best!

[@madeleinecampisi4871]

Ready for gift

[@owesu]

I’ll make one! I will make one the second my puppet is done! It’s almost done and it looks pretty good thanks to YOUR TOTORIALS! 😃😃😃😃😃

[@CreativeSteve69]

THis sounds like a lot of fun Adam. This is the perfect solution for me to re create n upgrade my puppet. :D Thanks for the motivation.

[@thewompeebunch9783]

Man, this is awesome! I’ve been wanting something like this for a while!

[@ckishu01]

I might be able to make a puppet out of a towel.. I’ll try another time 😆

[@Zarquill]

My next puppet is first going to be the shark with your pattern. Who knows I may just try this out to!

[@PuppetNerd]

Sweet!

[@CharrChan]

I make fursuits and find a lot of the techniques very similar to puppet making :) I can't afford the fancy high quality materials so when I make my suits I use mink blankets since they're cheap but give a great effect! You can always find alternative materials that work just as well as the "real thing" if you put the time and effort in :)

[@EvaSprenkelder]

I love this !!! Thank you, you're a big inspirator! Big thumbs up!

[@MarceloRBottaro]

This looks like fun, definitely gonna work on something for this contest

[@PuppetNerd]

Sweet!

Love ur vids man. Keep up the amazing work and never stop

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️

[@bandiceet]

It is the admiration of two friends who had some puppets professionally made for their wedding, that led me along the road to wanting to make my own, and then to your channel, Adam. Now with watching this video and learning of your challenge, made me think of using my puppets to do something creative. I am at the point I want to do something, but the self doubt is holding me back. Perhaps the #PuppetChallenge will be the thing to get me moving.

[@Dylan-we5dz]

Sounds like fun! I’m gonna try it.

[@PuppetNerd]

Woot woot!

I actually used your eye mech video to make a crocheted puppet. If I have time, I’ll make a video for you, right now I just have a test puppet video (how the puppet operates, but there’s no sound)

[@PuppetNerd]

I saw on Instagram!! Awesome!

[@MartinBar87]

[@AnnesreborndollsandfunW]

I will try . I really can’t go out to get anything... but I wouid love my hand at making a puppet. I hope you got a chance to see my puppet . I have only just started

[@PuppetNerd]

Did you watch the video? You don’t need to go out to get anything. The point is to use things where you are.

[@PuppetNerd]

Sweet!!! Can’t wait to see! Keep it short!

[@drakeshazamvideos9376]

My first puppet will probably be a snoof

[@Capicous]

I would try but I can’t really sow

[@isaiaslopez3351]

Um Adam I have never seen you make puppets as girl with hair.Also love it puppets as like stuff animal but with puppets that you can make it come to life.

[@PuppetNerd]

I don’t usually make long hair for puppets. I use a wig.

[@pmmduarte]

Hello Adam I am Pedro from Portugal, I am new to this puppet journey, much for my own satisfaction but I think I will deepen my knowledge because I think it will be a great psychological tool, since I am a psychologist and I have used puppets with some young patients, many children project many of their disorders onto puppets, which I set up with a simple sock. The question is, what kind of fabric can I use to make the skin of a puppet that I am now building? Big hug Pedro Duarte

[@PuppetNerd]

You can use any fabric you want.

[@TheGaffanon]

I have puppets in the museum at the center for puppetry arts.

[@zarquillplays]

As requested a new video. I hope you like it! It's a simple tiktok video of my second channel puppetbrother. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LJfaaOqbaYh8k

[@clydeandfriends]

Question: I have a puppet, but's it's made out of fleece and foam and stuff. Can I use him?

[@PuppetNerd]

You can use anything you want.

I might try the puppet challenge and also do you know if I could find the faux fur at like Walmart or something

[@Darkify51]

Can you make a sonic puppet please?

[@ptrathos]

I am looking for the video where you explain what material you use for your springy tails. Could you point me to that video?

[@Thomogon]

The techniques you use for building puppets, would they be suited for making costumes as well? I would like to make a reptile like onesie style costume but don't really know where to start.

[@PuppetNerd]

Yup!

[@chrisgadd9401]

I fear I have missed the deadline however I have attached my video anyway. I am slowly uploading more to my instagram : cgpuppetry. hope you like the film! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXrTqmlrmq-jjqc

Can you try to make sonic into a puppet

[@REDP12]

I've made a little robot puppet called R0bot

[@Jestunes]

As a newbie puppeteer I think I'm going to try to make a short video. Hmm what to do?

[@PuppetNerd]

❤️❤️❤️ maybe use TikTok for inspiration.

[@Jestunes]

@@PuppetNerd Took your suggestion and researched Tik Tok and got some good ideas. Thanks

[@abby4everrr]

Hello I’m a ventriloquist. I love your videos athough a lot of stuff is needed. I will be excited to watch this video! Is there any puppet brand recommendations?

[@PuppetNerd]

A vent video would be great!

[@abby4everrr]

Adam Kreutinger can I do a ventriloquist video? I’m making my video tomorrow morning

[@samkuklaTVLandKing]

Would you ever try to Reboot a TV Show that involves TV Puppetry( People & Puppets) like Allegra’s Window?😕

[@PuppetNerd]

I wouldn’t be able to do that. All those old shows are copyrighted.

[@samkuklaTVLandKing]

Adam Kreutinger No I mean would it ( the Video)involve a Reboot of TV Shows that involve TV Puppetry (People & Puppets) Like Allegra’s Window like a song or episode of it?📼😕 & Yes I know they are Copyrighted oh & do ya think they would put Allegra’s Window (All 3 seasons) on DVD 📀 I mean they did for Gullah Gullah Island & Rugrats👍

[@thewompeebunch9783]

Okay, so I can use any puppet as long as it’s simple? Or do I have to make a new simple one?

[@rodbutler69]

Sounds fun! What do you mean by "new work"? Thx

[@AnnesreborndollsandfunW]

I just got this notice no way I can make one in one day... I hope you will like what I have done so far . Draco the dragon playlist.. will see what I can do with what i have
