Mittens Puppet Theater

A puppet theater in which fairy-tale characters are made of mittens is a great way to diversify a holiday for kids or give adults the opportunity to feel like children again.
Making a mitt doll is easy. Below are the instructions, following which you can make a hare and a chicken. Having shown a little imagination, you can make other characters according to the presented sample. A mittens doll can be worn or decorated - everything is in your hands!
Before starting work, prepare the thread of the desired color, a variety of buttons, a hook or knitting needles, scissors - this, in general, is all that you may need.
First, tie an ordinary mittens - it will be the "body" of our hero. You can knit and crochet - this does not play a big role. Think over the "anatomical details" of the character. Our hare, for example, has a fluffy tail-bubo, and the chicken has a scallop, a red beak and wings. All this can be knitted separately and sewn, and can be provided for in the manufacture of mittens.
The basis of the future doll is ready. Heroes are already recognizable enough, right? It's time to move on to character refinement. Our dolls need eyes (we make them from buttons of a suitable size) and circles connected with a hook. A hare cannot remain without long ears, which are tied separately and sewn to a mitt.
There may be many details. Their number depends only on your desire and imagination. Our chicken can brag of an openwork tail, a hare - a mouth-bead.
Our characters are absolutely ready and can even play in the theater now! Soft, warm and bright dolls ask for the hands of kids and adults alike! Now it’s possible to realize any fairy tale and play any scenario you like!
