Does anybody know of any good video tutorials online that teach how to make foam headed puppets. I've tried lots of different books, but they only touch on the subject., i appreciate it.

Dr. Puppet videos....a must have...very reasonable too.

My avatar was built using his tutorials. THis was my first foam head...

Billy, Thanks for the Barbara Dewey videos on making a puppet from a stuffed doll. I was just given a big ol' bear doll from Belarus with the idea that I could transform it. (Maybe in July). Now I have those videos saved to my hard drive so that I can have a little inspiration.

They also would have been great for National Lost Sock Day, since she uses remainder socks as a sleeve inside the puppet to slide your hand up into the head.

I have so much stuff that is saved to a back up drive that I have found over the years....I tend to forget about them sometimes. I really need to get them more organized. I have converted animals as well.
