Making a Bra Puppet

Materials

1. 2 Padded underwire bras
2. Embroidery cotton
3. Needle with a large eye
4. Old jewellery
5. Beads for eyes
6. A sense of humour

• Sew two padded underwire bra cups together along the wire edge with embroidery cotton
• Leave the other edge open for the mouth
• Cut of the back fastening section with the hooks and eyes and reserve for making the hands and feet [ make sure you have a big enough section]
• Shape and roll the other part of the back strap to form the ears, sew/attach to the side of the head
• Sew on eyes, hair and other bits of choice to bring the puppet to life
• Take another bra and roll the top section to form a neck to join onto the head with embroidery cotton
• Cut off the thin bra straps and attach for arms
• Shape hands and feet from the reserved back strap leaving the hooks and eyes evident for more fun[sew onto arm straps]
• The back strap can also be used to shape a nose [sew on]
• Tip Each puppet character is your own, use up those bits you have lying around
• Tip Padded bras are the most suitable
