I almost died when he said "Get Creative" it reminded me of something that made me hate puppets. Anyone who has seen 'don't hug me I'm scared' knows what I'm talking about
Dude, I’ve known Steve since high school. That just hurt my head, that’s amazing! Also, I’m totally making puppet movies now. Thank you for sharing, this is great.
This is fantastic! I am (now) an aspiring puppeteer and looking to build my first puppet! Thank you so much for this video, it is exactly what I needed. I look forward to watching your other content!
Hi John - Sorry for the slow response. Yes, more videos to come. I am working on a puppet charity event with my puppety partner in crime and it's been taking a bunch of time. (More info to follow soon.) Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying the puppet shenanigans. I love it when there's new puppet people. Welcome to the family!
I don’t have a respirator but I really want to this idk. I’ve used that type of cement glue for hours on end not knowing it can kill brain cells but now I’m scared
Hi. I made a puppet head from foam using various sites ideas! I know.. not good! Lol. Now I want to finish with attaching a body. I looked at your online site for patterns. Just want to know if, I bought them. Will I be able to adjust the pattern to fit this head?
I'm not sure. The site I recommend (Project Puppet) has patterns for their particular head and body styles. You could likely make it match your custom made head, but it might take a little bit of massaging to make it work.
Hey King Toasty - For the video I went to Joann Fabrics and/or Michael's. But you should be able to get it at any local craft store. It's cheap fleece (whatever they have on sale) and green polyfoam. It doesn't have to be green but all the craft stores around me seem to carry it in that color. Hope that helps!
Instead of a razor blade you could also use an exacto knife from an office store or some general stores. They come with interchangeable blades and the grippable handle helps avoid being cut
Don’t know if anyone will see this but when I sew the felt mouthplate onto the mouth, you can see the seams very well and I don’t know how to cover it like how this guy does
Oompa Loompa You can totally use hot glue! I just don't think it holds as well. It can get brittle or melt in a hot environment. (Don't leave your puppet in a hot car!) Also, if any of it will be exposed it creates kind of a rigid seam whereas the contact cement is a little cleaner. Just a preference thing.
This is a lot different than I was planning on making my puppet ( that I didn't make yet :/) I was just thinking about taking a big plastic sphere that you can get a joian fabrics and cut a hole in the back of the head and cover that with felt but this seems like a wayyyyyyy better idea
When I buy a project puppet pattern do you build the foam skull then add the skin OR sew the skin then add foam in side do you have any tips for inspiration thank you
Chimpokosauce1 You build the puppet skin first. Then the foam skull fits up inside. You can fold it up to fit it through the body sleeve and then use your hand to open it up and get it in place. Best tip I can give is to keep trying new things! There's no wrong way to do it. Thanks for watching.
I so want to make puppets but I only have the type of foam for cosplay and fabrics for clothes yarn from crocheting wires from the garage that are now mine knowing how to cut things and cant buy much stuff i bet it is so hard
Ey dude I'm recently decide to do puppets, but I must use gum sponch, my puppets are like 50cm tall, so I have a cuestion, It's possible make a puppet with your materials that big? Mines become heavy to carry, they looks like a big teddy bears. Pd: I'm very shy for my bad English, sorry.
Hey there. No, we don't sell any blank puppets. We will occasionally make custom puppets for projects but aren't even doing that at the moment. Email me at chad at crashboom dot net and I can give you some ideas of other folks that can help you. Thanks for watching!
Dat One Awkward Guy - Hey there. The videos were originally uploaded in 2013. They were taken down because of some naming issues, then edited a bit and put back up. The discount thing was up in early 2014. Sorry for the confusion.
For some advice to others... I am a beginner and Instead of using foam I start off using paper (and pretend its foam; to save $) that way I get/know the exact shape I want when I use the foam.
No, sorry. I'm not doing any for hire build work at the moment. Too hard to find time just to do my own projects. But building it yourself will be more fun anyway.
I'm dreaming of a furry monster puppet, his name would probably be Schrödinger, after the famous Schrödinger who did a thought experiment about a cat in a box.
Ben Garibay use a piece of foam to dab it on both sides, then put them together. DO NOT USE THE BRUSH!!! If you are serious about puppet building, it is cheaper to buy a quart than a bunch of 4oz or 8oz bottles. Don’t even need the brush anyway.
How do you make a puppet River in every yellow house in the world we get to Mayhunt is like 100 views people call you all the people call you 100 stinky’s puppets Birriao
I'm working on my first puppet. thanks for inspiring me

I also want to maybe become a puppeteer, but hey, how’re the puppets going?
5:46 "creepy doll eyes.... mama" OH SHI ! *falls backwards out of my chair*
For 6 years ago this quality is amazing
I almost died when he said "Get Creative" it reminded me of something that made me hate puppets. Anyone who has seen 'don't hug me I'm scared' knows what I'm talking about
As soon as you said “get creative” on your comment I knew EXACTLY what you meant
Ok i know this is a old comment but aren’t they made of clay…
Lol i watch it all the time cant wait for wakey wakey
How do you get that idea
Hhahahahahahahha
The sheer quality and entertainment value of this video is incredible.
And for that sir, I subscribe.
Ben Nipper Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully more videos to come soon.
@@CrashBoomPuppets can I use paper clips for the hands
Dude, I’ve known Steve since high school. That just hurt my head, that’s amazing!

so quick and concise. the toddler clothing is a pro tip.
i can't wait to be real, thank you Chad! ｼ
OMG!!!! I loved the Never Ending Story reference!
What's the right size of foam do you use for puppets? :D
sewing artest 1/2 inch
Do you need to use Contact Cement? It doesn't exist in the UK
Lycan The Bloodlycan does it really not? Did you look for “Elmer’s Rubber Cement” on Amazon.uk
Wow this helped me a lot!!!!! Thankyou so much😊
It's a Tumblr life You're welcome. I hope you're enjoying making puppets. :)
This video is great i Will make a mad scientist puppet
Cool !!!
Where can I get the oblong pinhead pattern
Llama Llama projectpuppet.com has a good one. I think they may even have some coupon codes for December. Happy building!
Thanks! I'm gonna make a puppet now!
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
What foam and fleece did you use and where can I buy some?
Hey King Toasty - For the video I went to Joann Fabrics and/or Michael's. But you should be able to get it at any local craft store. It's cheap fleece (whatever they have on sale) and green polyfoam. It doesn't have to be green but all the craft stores around me seem to carry it in that color. Hope that helps!
Crash Boom Thank you, I shall go to Michaels :)
Could you please give the measurements of the foam? How many of that shall I buy?
Instead of a razor blade you could also use an exacto knife from an office store or some general stores. They come with interchangeable blades and the grippable handle helps avoid being cut
Luv the Never Ending Story ref @ 3:07
Don’t know if anyone will see this but when I sew the felt mouthplate onto the mouth, you can see the seams very well and I don’t know how to cover it like how this guy does
Great! You helped me make Jenny - a lot!
What was the pattern that you bought because there are several
Just asking, if the video was uploaded on 31st Oct 2014 and the discount only lasted till the 31st of March 2014 was there even a discount
For the gluing the puppet skull part, won't it be easier to use hot glue?
Oompa Loompa You can totally use hot glue! I just don't think it holds as well. It can get brittle or melt in a hot environment. (Don't leave your puppet in a hot car!) Also, if any of it will be exposed it creates kind of a rigid seam whereas the contact cement is a little cleaner. Just a preference thing.
It also burns you less
How does the pattern work do you print them out or what?
Omg thanks and can we just have stuffing to stuff the puppet?
Finally found a video for the right type of puppet im making
This is a lot different than I was planning on making my puppet ( that I didn't make yet :/) I was just thinking about taking a big plastic sphere that you can get a joian fabrics and cut a hole in the back of the head and cover that with felt but this seems like a wayyyyyyy better idea
When I buy a project puppet pattern do you build the foam skull then add the skin
OR sew the skin then add foam in side do you have any tips for inspiration thank you

I'm the student costumer for my school's theatre and I'm very interested in puppets. I will definitely be subscribing
I so want to make puppets but I only have the type of foam for cosplay and fabrics for clothes yarn from crocheting wires from the garage that are now mine knowing how to cut things and cant buy much stuff i bet it is so hard
Anyone know of any puppeteers i could commission to make a puppet? I have an idea but not really sure how i'd actually make it
When can you upload more build videos? Even time lapses?
Love the mental image of a "violent puppeteer". LOL. Great vid!
Ey dude I'm recently decide to do puppets, but I must use gum sponch, my puppets are like 50cm tall, so I have a cuestion,
It's possible make a puppet with your materials that big? Mines become heavy to carry, they looks like a big teddy bears.
Pd: I'm very shy for my bad English, sorry.
6:06 i like that part
quisiera poder conseguir los moldes o patrones de los títeres.. donde los puedo descargar para imprimir.. gracias
Galeria Cocuyo Try www.projectpuppet.com They have a lot of great patterns to start with. Thanks for watching!
do you guys sell premade puppets but with out face features, I mean a plane puppet
Hey there. No, we don't sell any blank puppets. We will occasionally make custom puppets for projects but aren't even doing that at the moment. Email me at chad at crashboom dot net and I can give you some ideas of other folks that can help you. Thanks for watching!

That scared. The absolute SHIT out of me. 😭
Dat One Awkward Guy - Hey there. The videos were originally uploaded in 2013. They were taken down because of some naming issues, then edited a bit and put back up. The discount thing was up in early 2014. Sorry for the confusion.
+Galaxynightheart it's easier to use foam but I just used a yoga mat it still worked
Did you use fleece? :)
Thanks for the video it is helpful so far
Crash Bo
om
I just went to my local walmart and picked up a 3$ fleece blankey (i forget what size they were but they were go enough for abbout 3 or 4 puppets)
great video
I was just bored and felt like looking up how to do this. Pretty cool.
A big thanks for making this video. I got a couple patterns from puppetproject.com and they look amazing!
littlemissmakeup83 You're welcome. Thanks for watching. And yes...Project Puppet has some great patterns. Super great resource for starting out.
Can you use hot glue instead of contact cement
Does the pattern have legs?
Do u buy arms separate
Man what are instructions or materials to make a puppet
this vid really cool
awesome tutorial!
For some advice to others... I am a beginner and Instead of using foam I start off using paper (and pretend its foam; to save $) that way I get/know the exact shape I want when I use the foam.
can you make me a kermit puppet
No, sorry. I'm not doing any for hire build work at the moment. Too hard to find time just to do my own projects. But building it yourself will be more fun anyway.
S Herb you can get them for $15 on amazon
BobLikesGaming same
Maddy The Random Rosalina Fan plushies*
Crash Boom are you going to make any more videos?
what is the name of your background music
No idea, sorry. I don't have the build file anymore. It's from the free music in Final Cut Pro. Lots of fun stuff in there.
Awesome video, Thanks a lot.
Looking forward to start a puppet workshop in my school. :)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more videos that go more in depth on puppet making and puppeteering topics. Soon-ish!
can u build DHMIS
This was helpful and pretty entertaining lol Well done sir :)
How do u make the mouth
Thanks to this video here, I can make my own sesame street character which I can portray and voice it!
Who is the puppet with gray skin and black suit
I work with plushies more, instead of puppets, but this video still helps a ton,
I'm dreaming of a furry monster puppet, his name would probably be Schrödinger, after the famous Schrödinger who did a thought experiment about a cat in a box.
Ah yes, Erwin Schrödinger. I guess when making that puppet you would be both making the puppet and NOT making the puppet at the same time ;)
LOVELY VIDEO
James Sykes Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I don't know Steve, but I see he's got excellent taste in music.
1:24 "they're cheap" I go check and it says $24.... so much for cheap
There's free patterns you can get also
When I use rubber cement on my foam like yours it doesn’t work😓
Ben Garibay use a piece of foam to dab it on both sides, then put them together. DO NOT USE THE BRUSH!!! If you are serious about puppet building, it is cheaper to buy a quart than a bunch of 4oz or 8oz bottles. Don’t even need the brush anyway.
5:42 if you watch SML alot you should know this
5:42 Heyyy its gumbo's brother!!!
