INSTRUCTIONS

1. Print the Templates: Use thicker paper or cardstock for durability.
2. Cut Out: Cut around the puppet outlines and along the mouth line to separate the top and bottom parts.
3. Assemble: Apply glue to the clothespin’s gripping area. Attach the puppet’s top part to the top of the clothespin and the bottom part to the bottom. Wooden clothespins work best.
