    Can you provide instructions on the blue macaw puppet? My daughter is doing school project. We bought all the supplies Just need a lil assistance. Thank you so much.

      Jennifer,

      To create the Blue McCaw, I sketched the way I wanted it to look first – you might notice some of my drawings in the photos. The beak was created from a piece of foam that I trimmed into two hooked triangular/rectangular shapes. One pieces is large, for the upper nose, and the other is very small – representing the mouth. I used a piece of grey foam to wrap the beak, and I used straight pins to secure the grey foam to the white foam. I cut the head and neck from the felt in a fat bowling pin shape – not unlike a human profile shape. I hand stitched the two pieces of felt together and turned them so that the seam was on the inside. I used a needle and thread to sew the flat part of the beak onto the face of the Blue McCaw puppet. I then cut oval layers of felt in light blue dark blue and dark grey for the eyes. I used elmer’s glue to glue the layers and google eyes onto the puppet and I secured it with a few stitches. If you let the eyes float up from the surface of the face it actually gives the puppet lots of dimension. I used blue pipe cleaners secured by thread for the eyebrows. All of the blue feathers were sewn on by hand. I added the dark grey felt “smile” last and a fluff of feathers just over the nose as a plume at the center of the face. I’m so glad you asked! I hope those tips help. 🙂
