Free pattern: How to make shadow puppets, Redback spider
Grab the FREE pattern, use the instructions within AND/OR watch the video tutorial belowIn 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]

Thanks John for the info. Actually, from the looks of Puppeteria's site, they are a children's/family performing group and venue. And though they might hire out or make puppets for special commissions, I personally wouldn't count them as an official puppet seller. I would actually list them as a puppet company, as their main business would be in performing, not selling puppets. - So I'm going to list them on my site as such, and will be the first puppet company I blog about (outside of my own of course!).
