I went down an adventure of creativity and learning with this puppet making process and it's a journey I didn't even know I needed. π₯Ήππ€
When my FiancΓ© told me that for Christmas he wanted a custom goblin puppet from a small business called the located in the United Kingdom I was so torn because I knew with how tight money was right now and how unpredictable importing goods outside of the US is at the moment I just knew I wouldn't be able to afford a $200+ puppet with all the fees right now.
So I told him, "I can't buy one for you, but I can try my best to make one." And Y'all was it a learning process, but one I am thankful for. I did use the original artists design as a reference, but resized the puppet and some of the features to fit my fiancΓ©s large hand as well as added legs and feet since he wanted legs and feet.
The original creator of this design is on Etsy, so please make sure to check them out if you'd like to get a custom Goblin puppet of your own. I really wanted to make sure to credit them because they absolutely deserve it. This is their design.π«ΆπΌ
I would say that for my 1st time ever making a puppet I did a pretty amazing job and I am glad that I was able to make this amazing Christmas Gift for my FiancΓ©π₯Ήπ
