I've reposted one of the most popular tutorials that was on PuppetBuilding.com before it was taken offline last year, How To Make Puppet Practice Eyes.



Just like the title suggests, this explains how to make a pair of "Oobi-style" puppet practice eyes. The tutorial was written by Andrew Moore.

Enjoy!

FYI
The link does not work or is it just me?

Thanks Andrew for saving it and re posting it.

Not just you. Try this: http://www.puppetbuilding.com/puppet-building-blog/puppet-crafts/22-make-your-own-puppet-practice-eyes.html.

I've fixed the link. The URL was correct, but there was an error in the BB code.

 

Hello!  Andrew Moore here.

I've seen a few referrals to my blog from this thread, and thought I might post the direct URL to my 'practice eyes' tutorial:

http://thefelties.blogspot.com/2007/04/project-corner-not-day-goes-by-that-i.html

I never did the follow-up project: "How to improvise a bandage when you slip and cut yourself with an Xacto knife."  I'll have to slip that back on my to-do list of posts to write, right after "A few colorful swear words to use after burning yourself with hot glue."

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff Andrew! Glad you hunted us down and that you've gotten referrals. Thanks for the direct link.
