Okey,

Thanks a lot and i'm gonna work very hard on my first puppet, i hope you will like  it
if i have finished it
Thanks for all the help you people gave to me.

Rolender,
Do you speak Dutch?  I know that is the official language of Netherlands... correct?  We have several members who speak Dutch.  If you need you can post in Dutch and they can help translate.

If your talking about the foam body pattern.  You will cut a piece of 1/2" or 1" foam into a rectangle shape.  The length of the rectangle will be how round you want the body to be.  The height of the rectange will be how tall you want the body.  Where the pattern is marked, 'darts' you will cut a "V" shape. The darts will be the shoulders of the puppet, so the width between the darts should be the width accross the front of the puppet.  You will then contact cement or hot glue the each "V" shape together.  Then contact cement or hot glue the side pieces of the rectangle together forming the body.  Does that make sense?

Well, to be honest it doesnt make sense it all.
I cannot see it before me.
And i hope some Dutch people will see my posts.  *ehem*   

Hee mensen uit Nederland.. ikzelf
wil een handpop gaan maken zodat ik volgend jaar meer kans maak op een bepaalde opleiding.
Verder lijkt het me gewoon super leuk een keertje met een handpop te werken.
Weten jullie misschien waar je de patronen vandaan kunt halen of de stof?
Ikze;f heb het al bij verschillende winkeltjes geprobeert maar er is niemand die me kan helpen.
Verder legt iemand hierboven me uit hoe je een lichaam maakt maare, ik snap er niets van.
Ik heb namelijk een link hierboven gekregen dat naar wat patronen van Barbara linkt  (ook een patroon voor ene lichaam) maar ik zie het er niet in.
Kan iemand mij misschien helpen?

For the English people, sorry it's in dutch but maybe they can also help me either.
I really aprisiate?  is that how you say it?  all the work and tip you gave me.. thank you very much. I will not give up about making a puppet, all i have to do is getting a litle bit onformation, but i will find that.

Thanks!

Okay, sorry.  I have attached a diagram this will make a pretty large body.  I converted the measurements to metric, so I hope they are correct. Cut the foam 48.3 X 20.3 Cut out the dark "V" shapes. Glue A to A, B to B and so on.  Better?

I'll be right back. I forgot to load diagram into my gallery.

Okay, so much for that.  I made the diagram in Doc file and I can't upload it.  Email me and I will send it to you.  Sorry.  I guess this wasn't helpful at all.

But how can i E-mail you XD

Rolender,
She has her email addy hidden here at PandS but you can find it on her sit here: http://www.outoftheboxpuppets.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=2

MPGRACE,
The Gallery does accept PDF if you can save your Doc file in that format.  Many programs have that option now.  I hate to allow Doc files in the upload simply because many folks don't have the program to open them.   I could do it if enough folks want it.

Welcome to P&S!!  We can't wait to see pictures of your creations!!  (While I am Dutch, I was born in the US and cannot read or speak any Dutch - know a few songs in Dutch but that is all!  But like you were already told there are a number of folks from the Netherlands!)

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll have plenty of help here in everything you need help with =]

Hi ,

Welcome to P&S....start with simple puppets.
Check & watch all the U Tube tutorials that
will give a good lead to start simple muppet
style puppets. You can also try sock puppet.
Go through the puppet construction section
of the forum in P&S that will give you all the
the links...

Enjoy & have fun making puppets.

Cheers
Bhanu
