For those who are interested in the history of Mr. Punch/Kasper you can CLICK HERE for the WIkipedia entry on Punch & Judy and HERE for more info. on his German cousin Kasper.βIf you missed the beginning of my process making a body for this puppet head, look back through my blog posts for the first two instalments π
I got this finished just in time for Christmas and luckily it seems to work for my son’s hand size.βI used all bits of fabric and beads etc. that I already had knocking about – the only thing I purchased new for it was the sewing thread and replacement needle for the sewing machine when I broke it!
The little bells were purchased years ago and were originally from a set of cheapo Christmas earrings reduced price to 50p for about 4 sets (or something like that).
Please feel free to make a comments or ask any questions about the making process π Happy New Year everyone!βThat’s the way to do it!

That’s quite another way of making a new ‘body’ for an old hand puppet’s head!
In the past I’ve made some new dresses for old hand puppets, but my blog is in Dutch https://poppenkastpop.blogspot.com/
I’ve added a link to your blog.
Best regards, Joan
Thank you very much for that Joan π
