Free pattern: How to make a finger puppet, Felt version
Grab the FREE pattern, use the instructions within AND/OR watch the video tutorials belowFinger puppets are incredibly simple to make. You really just need to trace an outline around one of your fingers (I used my index finger), add a bit of margin for breathing room, cut out your fabric and attach the pieces together. In order to save yourself some trouble, I’ve already got this finger-traced pattern made for you. The rest is easy - just watch the two videos below for instructions! This pattern uses glue to attach the felt pieces, but if you’d like to sew the pieces together, use the pattern in conjunction with this tutorial instead, or even this slightly more complicated Ice Cream Finger Puppet pattern.

I tried to put my shirt on my puppet Moostifer. It didn't work very well because he doesn't have shoulders. Of course I probably could have pinned it.
