What pattern you used for that head? Nice work. Can't wait to see for the finish puppet!

If you used the pattern that Jarrod showed for the nose, you should be able to use it for the fabric covering. Just add seam allowance.

I'd recommend doing what Shawn said and then hot glue the fabrick in place.  You should get a great fit.

My recommendation would be to hand stitch the nose to the face. Hot glue would work but I feel that you can get a cleaner seam between face and nose by hand stitching.

Excellent work.

I'm a big fan of Jarrod too, but you've done a pretty good job yourself...impressive, can't wait to see it completed

I guess I wasn't complete or clear in my recommendation.  I think the fabric and seams need to be hand stitched together and that after this is done the fabric ought to be glued in to the different contures of the nose structure.

hi thanks for your answers!
I took the nose from jarrod. He is becoming my favorite puppet builder.
The head is from puppet brasil. That with the cover with a boy and a girl. But I resised it up. My seta is broken on my keyboard. I printed it out on 4 pages. I got very good big head out of it:). Then I started to pin up the nose and the cheeks. Im going to change the cheeks.

as Jon said: if I were you, I would cover this nose with no pattern - spray glue the nose, then cover it with some square of fabric and at the end just trim an excess of the fleece and stitch it up (by hand) at the bottom of the nose. hot glue the curves of the nose in places while covering.
