Free pattern: How to make shadow puppets, Redback spider

Grab the FREE pattern, use the instructions within AND/OR watch the video tutorial below

In the spirit of halloween, I’m giving you a fun…ok, creepy… shadow puppet pattern. It’s an Australian redback spider. All the instructions, including materials and tools, are provided in the pattern and the video; and there’s another video in the set that shows you how the puppet turns out.

This is more for fun at home or school and certainly isn’t what I’d normally make; my other shadow puppet patterns produce far more professional results.

Build your own shadow puppet screen. You’ll find more free patterns here, and a video tutorial on making joints for these puppets. Learn more about what materials to use here. How shadow puppets are different to silhouettes is discussed here. [links to be added]
