Hi - Try Bing, look up "puppet images" or "puppet patterns", it may have some drawings or patterns for you to use...

welcome to Puppets and Stuff................... you may be able to use the above as a basic guide to create what you want.

i built a punch along time ago.... i used a light bulb for the head and covered it in paper pulp as for the body i traced around my hand. i wish i would have kept that puppet but its lost to time now.
