Free pattern: How to make a finger puppet, Fabric version
Grab the FREE pattern, use the instructions within AND/OR watch the video tutorials belowI took my previously made pattern and reused it for a video tutorial (note, the above download link has instructions for the fabric puppet; the one previously made is the same pattern, just with different instructions on how to use it). The video below shows you how to take the basic finger puppet pattern and with some fleece and cotton fabric or other cloth, you can sew yourself something a bit more stylish. Or you could upgrade the tutorial by adding some extra coolness and make the Ice Cream Finger Puppet pattern.
Find out what kind of materials you can use, and get more free patterns. How long does it take to make these puppets? Find out here. History of finger puppets is here. [links to be added]

You're right Pat, they can do a lot more than what I described here. I've not used sock puppets much, and that probably shows through in what I wrote; I do think though that for the general public, sock puppets are stereotyped... perhaps people should check out my 'how to make a sock puppet' tutorial on the site, which actually experiments with a non-traditional building method.
... School of Puppetry on What are sock puppets?Perhaps in the future I can come back and rewrite the post with a little more info than I've given here.
