I also want to maybe become a puppeteer, but hey, how’re the puppets going?

[@n30n_sp1der7]

I almost died when he said "Get Creative" it reminded me of something that made me hate puppets. Anyone who has seen 'don't hug me I'm scared' knows what I'm talking about

[@godmanplays1974]

As soon as you said “get creative” on your comment I knew EXACTLY what you meant

[@thanugget9974]

Ok i know this is a old comment but aren’t they made of clay…

[@gemgoddess777]

Lol i watch it all the time cant wait for wakey wakey

[@SOPHIA-fd5gn]

How do you get that idea

[@ChristopherPepper06]

Hhahahahahahahha

[@2sp00kyy1]

I'm thinking of making a Trekkie Monster puppet, so thank you for this video.

[@bennipper9761]

The sheer quality and entertainment value of this video is incredible. And for that sir, I subscribe.

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Ben Nipper Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully more videos to come soon.

[@brickplank_films5189]

@@CrashBoomPuppets can I use paper clips for the hands

[@Herowebcomics]

OMG! You'r puppet making video is SO cool! Thanks for the sharp tool warnings!

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Safety!!! Glad you enjoyed.

[@STRKLLR]

Dude, I’ve known Steve since high school. That just hurt my head, that’s amazing! Also, I’m totally making puppet movies now. Thank you for sharing, this is great.

[@XephiusExperiment]

This is fantastic! I am (now) an aspiring puppeteer and looking to build my first puppet! Thank you so much for this video, it is exactly what I needed. I look forward to watching your other content!

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Hi John - Sorry for the slow response. Yes, more videos to come. I am working on a puppet charity event with my puppety partner in crime and it's been taking a bunch of time. (More info to follow soon.) Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying the puppet shenanigans. I love it when there's new puppet people. Welcome to the family!

[@felixbebris5773]

Omg the Never Ending Story reference!!!!

[@luckyshark50]

This is very CREATIVE!

[@stewart7346]

Thanks for the mention! Awesome tutorial. :-)

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Thanks Tom! I love your stuff. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@digtime16bit]

so quick and concise. the toddler clothing is a pro tip.

[@diamonddampman9426]

Instead of a razor blade you could also use an exacto knife from an office store or some general stores. They come with interchangeable blades and the grippable handle helps avoid being cut

[@lonniesands1716]

OMG!!!! I loved the Never Ending Story reference!

[@chilly617]

Watched this instead of sleeping, worth it, I’m gonna make a puppet

[@darkforestzombie218]

Me too

[@pink.zombie8631]

I don’t have a respirator but I really want to this idk. I’ve used that type of cement glue for hours on end not knowing it can kill brain cells but now I’m scared

[@cookiemonsterking25]

This video is great i Will make a mad scientist puppet

[@darkforestzombie218]

[@Dorian-0118]

Thanks! I'm gonna make a puppet now!

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

[@daxbrumana402]

[@devon-vw6yu]

Dax Brumana good job. I don’t know where to start lol I’m thinking about making a granny

[@wyattbrotatochip3169]

Dax Brumana what did it look like

[@genkijin]

Luv the Never Ending Story ref @ 3:07

[@jennysjukeboxjam382]

Great! You helped me make Jenny - a lot!

[@bluestudios6859]

This is a lot different than I was planning on making my puppet ( that I didn't make yet :/) I was just thinking about taking a big plastic sphere that you can get a joian fabrics and cut a hole in the back of the head and cover that with felt but this seems like a wayyyyyyy better idea

[@erilassila409]

I'm dreaming of a furry monster puppet, his name would probably be Schrödinger, after the famous Schrödinger who did a thought experiment about a cat in a box.

[@lifespore]

Ah yes, Erwin Schrödinger. I guess when making that puppet you would be both making the puppet and NOT making the puppet at the same time ;)

[@berrybluebunny]

i can't wait to be real, thank you Chad! ｼ

[@bearfamous_]

I'm the student costumer for my school's theatre and I'm very interested in puppets. I will definitely be subscribing

[@Curly_Carly]

Wow this helped me a lot!!!!! Thankyou so much😊

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

It's a Tumblr life You're welcome. I hope you're enjoying making puppets. :)

[@GdGllyMolly]

Love the mental image of a "violent puppeteer". LOL. Great vid!

[@rem_gamez]

Finally found a video for the right type of puppet im making

[@kirstenmacdonald2572]

For some advice to others... I am a beginner and Instead of using foam I start off using paper (and pretend its foam; to save $) that way I get/know the exact shape I want when I use the foam.

[@tommyp4685]

Don’t know if anyone will see this but when I sew the felt mouthplate onto the mouth, you can see the seams very well and I don’t know how to cover it like how this guy does

[@precisepriceelectrical5205]

great video

[@fisherman12k20]

this vid really cool

[@vinylcomets]

I work with plushies more, instead of puppets, but this video still helps a ton,

[@gratermccheesy9650]

I was just bored and felt like looking up how to do this. Pretty cool.

[@justintai8725]

LOVELY VIDEO

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

James Sykes Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Dat One Awkward Guy - Hey there. The videos were originally uploaded in 2013. They were taken down because of some naming issues, then edited a bit and put back up. The discount thing was up in early 2014. Sorry for the confusion.

[@Robloxgaming-mj4oh]

+Galaxynightheart it's easier to use foam but I just used a yoga mat it still worked

[@sewingartest2099]

Did you use fleece? :)

[@ShaggyGaming365]

Thanks for the video it is helpful so far

[@traceyflorian4106]

[@littlemissmakeup83]

A big thanks for making this video. I got a couple patterns from puppetproject.com and they look amazing!

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

littlemissmakeup83 You're welcome. Thanks for watching. And yes...Project Puppet has some great patterns. Super great resource for starting out.

[@miguelmontanes8961]

Awesome video, Thanks a lot. Looking forward to start a puppet workshop in my school. :)

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more videos that go more in depth on puppet making and puppeteering topics. Soon-ish!

[@GregoryAmicar57]

Thanks to this video here, I can make my own sesame street character which I can portray and voice it!

[@Wisdomdesign]

Those are cool.

[@roshankoliparthi1176]

awesome tutorial!

[@umciachrumcia]

Could you please give the measurements of the foam? How many of that shall I buy?

[@imlizzyjo]

Hi. I made a puppet head from foam using various sites ideas! I know.. not good! Lol. Now I want to finish with attaching a body. I looked at your online site for patterns. Just want to know if, I bought them. Will I be able to adjust the pattern to fit this head?

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

I'm not sure. The site I recommend (Project Puppet) has patterns for their particular head and body styles. You could likely make it match your custom made head, but it might take a little bit of massaging to make it work.

[@SiGhast]

I don't know Steve, but I see he's got excellent taste in music.

[@jazmynmarshall1338]

Omg thanks and can we just have stuffing to stuff the puppet?

[@lowkibenji]

Great vid I'm working on one

[@morpheus636]

When can you upload more build videos? Even time lapses?

[@jesyajesyi8745]

nice puppet

[@THATRACCOONDUDE]

6:06 i like that part

[@gmee123]

This was helpful and pretty entertaining lol Well done sir :)

[@naruseluvr]

Can you use hot glue instead of contact cement

[@haileyscott7144]

the one you just made should be Quasimodo!

[@Sam_Jalmanak]

For the gluing the puppet skull part, won't it be easier to use hot glue?

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Oompa Loompa You can totally use hot glue! I just don't think it holds as well. It can get brittle or melt in a hot environment. (Don't leave your puppet in a hot car!) Also, if any of it will be exposed it creates kind of a rigid seam whereas the contact cement is a little cleaner. Just a preference thing.

[@morpheus636]

It also burns you less

[@tonydatiger7740]

Thank you 🙏

[@avagriffin2350]

I died when he said MAMAH

[@halfblondebimbo7077]

I made a old lady puppet out of the tips of 2 two Leter bottles and fleece and random stuff out of my craft drower xD

[@toxicgod4693]

I made a jaky chu amd it looks a real one

[@sewingartest2099]

What's the right size of foam do you use for puppets? :D

[@morpheus636]

sewing artest 1/2 inch

[@mmcandy777]

Cool

[@kasectomi]

Inspired

[@VanKenway]

the man behind the slaughter

[@averyflock3435]

can u build DHMIS

[@EmaleesBoyfriend]

How does the pattern work do you print them out or what?

[@nva6089]

Hunter,he's a panda with an eyepatch and a mans purse. :D

[@chimpokosauce139]

When I buy a project puppet pattern do you build the foam skull then add the skin OR sew the skin then add foam in side do you have any tips for inspiration thank you

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Chimpokosauce1 You build the puppet skin first. Then the foam skull fits up inside. You can fold it up to fit it through the body sleeve and then use your hand to open it up and get it in place. Best tip I can give is to keep trying new things! There's no wrong way to do it. Thanks for watching.

[@Kitkat_Katya-c1t]

I so want to make puppets but I only have the type of foam for cosplay and fabrics for clothes yarn from crocheting wires from the garage that are now mine knowing how to cut things and cant buy much stuff i bet it is so hard

[@freakshowstudios8487]

Do you need to use Contact Cement? It doesn't exist in the UK

[@morpheus636]

Lycan The Bloodlycan does it really not? Did you look for “Elmer’s Rubber Cement” on Amazon.uk

[@sep5780]

Man what are instructions or materials to make a puppet

[@oprahsidejr4710]

[@roundcrouton]

Just asking, if the video was uploaded on 31st Oct 2014 and the discount only lasted till the 31st of March 2014 was there even a discount

[@tyronaphelps6387]

Harley is a great puppet name

[@sherb4099]

can you make me a kermit puppet

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

No, sorry. I'm not doing any for hire build work at the moment. Too hard to find time just to do my own projects. But building it yourself will be more fun anyway.

[@dnizzle7634]

[@gotthewolfdogs9552]

Crash Boom are you going to make any more videos?

[@toasty8120]

What foam and fleece did you use and where can I buy some?

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Hey King Toasty - For the video I went to Joann Fabrics and/or Michael's. But you should be able to get it at any local craft store. It's cheap fleece (whatever they have on sale) and green polyfoam. It doesn't have to be green but all the craft stores around me seem to carry it in that color. Hope that helps!

[@toasty8120]

Crash Boom Thank you, I shall go to Michaels :)

[@JB.avi5]

3:10 yeep!

[@KEMS_music]

You should make a creepy, but fun clown

[@zaidamacias8101]

Ey dude I'm recently decide to do puppets, but I must use gum sponch, my puppets are like 50cm tall, so I have a cuestion, It's possible make a puppet with your materials that big? Mines become heavy to carry, they looks like a big teddy bears. Pd: I'm very shy for my bad English, sorry.

[@supersethbrothers8113]

This is really helpful i've been trying to make one but didnt know how his is gonna help thank you so much! :) P.s. u earned a new sub

[@lilpd6207]

I just went to my local walmart and picked up a 3$ fleece blankey (i forget what size they were but they were go enough for abbout 3 or 4 puppets)

[@A13xx8]

Where can I get the oblong pinhead pattern

[@CrashBoomPuppets]

Llama Llama projectpuppet.com has a good one. I think they may even have some coupon codes for December. Happy building!

[@wreckitethan2528]

Jimmy, mat, Robert, bob. Names for your puppets

[@hugohenrique5828]

[@joryvsminecraft8558]

Does the pattern have legs?

[@michael13849]

Anyone know of any puppeteers i could commission to make a puppet? I have an idea but not really sure how i'd actually make it
