There were some old threads about tutorials or patterns that used to be hosted on PuppetBuilding.com, but they seem to have become locked and I can't reply to them so I thought I would post a new thread with the new URLs of the most-requested resources:

Puppet Pricing Calculator
An Excel spreadsheet that will help you figure out what to charge and how to price your puppets. Although it was created with puppets in mind, you can use it to price almost any product or service.

Cowboy Cactus Puppet Tutorial
This was originally written by Amy Harder (and posted here on P&S I think, but I can't find it anymore). Amy very generously granted permission for an edited version of it to be hosted on PuppetBuilding.com a couple years ago.

Talking Lips Puppet
This is probably most effective as a black light puppet, but it can be used under regular light as well. The link goes to a page with instructions on how to build the puppet and includes a link to download the pattern as a .pdf file.

Wedge Pattern
This is a basic wedge pattern, useful if you want to make foam puppets using the wedge method (I'm working on a comprehensive video tutorial explaining how to build using the wedge method).

It is Alive !............................ Thanks Andrew for your hard work. I had so many people ask for the round head pattern and the lips that I placed it in my gallery until you were up and running. I can remove them now.

Thanks for everything.

Feel free to keep them up...all of the site's free patterns are licensed under Creative Commons, so anyone who wants to re-distribute them is welcome to. All that's required is attribution (a simple link to PuppetBuilding.com if that's possible is fine).

I completely forgot about the Round Head Pattern. I'll have to upload that today.

Congrats on getting things up and going.......you put a lot of work into this site and it is great to see it back up and ready to go.

You did a lot of work to bring your site back again. Thank you that you did that..................
