Make Star Wars Finger Puppets

This is my last Star Wars post... for now! If you are hungry for more Star Wars crafts, be sure to visit the Star Wars Crafts community. I made some simple Star Wars finger puppets from craft felt (one of the best crafty bargains around - at about a quarter a sheet!).

You can make finger puppets in any shape or theme you want to. You can construct them from simple shapes, you can add googly eyes (or not), or button eyes. You can basically embellish them any way you want to. Great summer craft for kids!

Tips: If you have specific characters in mind (like these Star Wars guys), I recommend doing a quick sketch in your sketchbook so you know what pieces to cut out. I glued additional pieces to the backs of the heads to reinforce the puppets, since regular craft felt is not very stiff.

Project Estimate:

  • 3 or more sheets of felt, about $1
  • Craft glue (I used Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue), on hand
  • (optional) Googly eyes, on hand or a huge pack for $1

Total: $1 and up
