What kind of puppet are you making?
Re: Easiest way to piece head to body Posted by luv2beeamommy on May 05, 2008
Well just a two piece head right now but I already sewed her head on last night agian hand sewn . Also I'm not sure but I would have to guess the two piece ones are easier than the four piece head structure ? As you see very new to making them lol !

That doesnt really answer the question. I presume your making a muppet style puppet with a moving mouth? If so then the easiest way is to make a fabric tube for the neck and sew that directly to the top of the torso. There are more complex ways but if your just starting then that would be a good one.

Cheers,
Dan

You're welcome! (PS You may want to repost your pic again for your second puppet - I don't think it worked)
