I bought a bunch of the googly eyes so I could pop out the black part for pupils. May have to start coloring some to make different color eyes. I used some ping pong balls for a few puppets, cracked a couple cutting them, but liked how they look when done.

Welcome! I love those colours. A real "Hingucker" (Leo translated it as "eye-catcher").

I had the same problem with the ping pong balls cracking when I tried cutting the with an exacto knife. So I started using a bandsaw which hasn't cracked one yet. As for the pupils I found doll eye pupils at the hobby shop that come in different colors and can be put in the ping pong balls by drilling a small hole. They are pretty cheap too about 2.99 for four sets. I'll use them on my next puppet so you can see what I'm talking about. Good building. Dave

Thanks to everyone who has commented on my puppet it is really nice to get compliments and encouragement. Naturally everyone I know just thinks I've gone barmy. But it's been great fun so far and I thinks I'll keep it up.

Don't worry - there's plenty of other barmy people around
