could you use hot glue instead of stiching?
I hope Adam is still oK! Goodluck to Adam. 💗
@@shcimpyjones4129are you kidding me did you read the comment😑
Is sale ??
Hope you get better adam.
When I was younger I loved the muppets and still do, I asked my parents for a Kermit the frog Pupet and they looked confused and said they it couldn’t be done, on Christmas Day I opened up a gift and found a Kermit the frog Pupet in a box. It was made by my dads friend who makes puppets for fun, I was so happy, I got too meet the guy and he showed me his work and gave me some old supplies for me too use, I cherish that day because that let me get into Puppet making, and your video helped me get started. The frog design was the exact same as this one here and it just brought me such good memories ☺️
Do you still have that kermit puppet?
@@GodzillaKaijuGK yes I do, he means so much too me that I refuse too get rid of him.
@@Talk_Man_YT :)
aaw this is an adorable story ! ^^
Do you have a picture?
I always loved that kermit type of puppet because its so expressive the way it can scrunch up its face like that.
OMG SAME the way the puppeteer makes the face really long or flat is so cool
@@tophattomm YESS
Glad Adam showed off the laundry detergent bottle, 'cause that's exactly what I use for mouth plates 😊
You make puppets too?
You make puppets? Can we see?
DaThings makes puppets, cool
YTP THIS
a wild DaThings appears!
If you disliked the video, your really mean, it takes time out of your day to teach people and its not easy to make puppets, one again thanks for your commitment, i dont have any supplies cause im broke but its fun to watch you put a masterpice together
Your right
My twin is neurodivergent and has a special interest in Muppets, if you talk to them for even five minutes they'll tell you all about the life of Jim Henson and everyone he ever worked with. I've been working on making them their very own puppet for our birthday, and I just know they'll love it!!!!
Hope he and you have a great birthday!🎉😊
I just got home from the Jim Henson exhibit and was so inspired that I immediately became obsessed with making my own! Thank you for sharing this knowledge, your thorough instruction is refreshing
I'm all about reusing what I have around the house. Be it cardboard, foam from packages and laundry detergent bottles. I am hand sewer for the time being. I am still working on my very first puppet. Thank you for your very useful and helpful instructional videos!
Just watching this is already showing me things I should have done with a character I made already, and what I can do to improve him in a second go. The knees are a revelation.
I'm trying to make a third puppet. I've made 2 puppets from your vids, and they both turned out great! One was from the snoof pattern, another from one of your videos! The first one
was my favorite! Thanks Adam! 💗
This is the first ever episode I have ever seen on this channel. years later it is still so nistolgic:)
At 9:26 you mention the optional sleeve pattern, I don't have that and I did download the Fried Frog pattern.
Awesome!!!!!
Love the small fry!!
Thanks for your support!
@@PuppetNerd can you make “how you built jimmy?”
Thank you for making this video, I saw this pattern on your website years ago and I’m super exited to see a tutorial.
I’m just glad there’s another how to build there has not been one of those in a long time
i am making a puppet and i am so excited! i didn't know that puppets are that fun to use. and i am watching your videos to get started! you just made my day. 😍🥰🥰😄😁
I was struck with Muppet-Fever about two weeks ago and your videos rock, dude :)
I love animal characters so patterns like this make me very happy (:
Thanks for your support!
You're like the Bob Ross of puppets
I don’t think a better compliment exists. Thanks so much!
We just bought the felt and got the sewing machine threaded. My kids are juiced to do this. Thanks man
Love this! I will add this to my future builds. I am so glad you are releasing another onslaught of videos. These have been great! Lookin’ forward to what you have next!👍🏻❤️😷
THIS MAN kind of sounds like Kermit the frog
I was just thinking that
You read my mind
Lol yeag
Ya
the man who read my mind
This dude is such a Chad. He isn't straight up plugging his paid patterns hes recommending the free ones! So freaking cool
Great video. Gonna try this one with my kids. Thanks Adam
man! cool legally distinct frog puppet. i bet he's the host of the hit non-derivative television series 'The Smuppet Shlow'
seriously though really fucking nice.
i love this comment
Thank you so much for your videos, you are such an amazing artisty and teacher Adam. I really apprecite the gifts of art knowledge you've bestowed on the puppetry community. 🙏
I love your videos so much, I’ve made 2 puppets from watching your videos and I’m very happy with them!
Oh 😹 so sorry Adam pattern is so cool
Thanks so much
I love you Adam, your my true inspiration
Btw hope you get better soon
You're the best, Adam!!! You're really keeping the spirit alive!
💯
Adam thank you for the only youtuber for showing us how to make a frog puppet
You sound like you’re desperately trying not to slip into a Kermit The Frog voice
So true
Omg you read my mind 🤣
I laughed
I hear it now!
Ikr
Bro!!!!!!! You are a GANGSTER!!!!! I followed your snoof puppet and got hooked....Im on my 5th full size puppet and getting ready to launch a puppet show on utube....Its soooooooo funny. Not for kids at all but you are the inspiration!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up buddy
This Video Helped Me Make Kermit Thanks Adam
I really love your videos, they are a great inspiration to me! Thanks.
Thanks for the pattern man, been looking forward to making a kermit puppet
Thank you very much Adam I saw that you read and answered my message are this frog that I have loved so much I admire your work and dedication 😍😍
Happy to help!
It looks like a purple version of Kermit the Frog 🐸 💜
Adam, this looks incredible! I was just wondering if you could answer some questions I have as well?
1. How much fleece is required for this puppet?
(Preferably in yards, approximations are fine)
2. Could I get a good Kermit puppet with this pattern?
They aren’t urgent questions, but I would greatly appreciate a response from a professional like you!
Good Very very good 👍👍 am from Egypt Ilove all your work and I have dona lot of it
I loved your analogy for putting the foam arms into the fleece sleeves 😂 Giving a cat a bath sucks!
Lol. Thanks!
Damn, just showing off how to flex like Kermit. "The eyes go on the outside of the puppet" I'm breaking this rule right now HERE WE GO
Incredible!! Thank you for all your hard work!!
Is there a tutorial for sewing the mouth to the chin and head using a sewing machine? I've tried a few times but it can't quite figure out the angle
. . . YES UA-cam RECOMMENDATIONS, YES PLEASE! YES THIS IS WHAT I LOVE! Oh hi there, I have stumbled upon your channel & I am subscribing for life. The UA-cam recommendations has worked out splendidly for me this day!
sometimes I wonder if this pattern would be good for a kermit puppet
My eyes bugged out when Arlo showed up in the intro, is this video just destiny or something-
Hey! I made Arlo!
@@PuppetNerd this was the lore I never knew that I needed. 👀
@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522 So, this is like, Papa Arnold then
No one could make a puppet like how Jim made me
Has anybody noticed that one of the frogs in Muppets Take Manhattan has ears? 😮
Oh yeah I have noticed!
Could we get a link please, thanks!
@@zdproductions3903 muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Bill
@@petros6013 He reminds me of the *Rankin-Bass* version of *Gollum.*
Now I want to see a Muppet version of _The Hobbit._ XD
Muppet breeding can make some weird shit.
Hi I love your videos I enjoy watching them
Oh so that's how Kermit the frog puppet works
I always thought that Kermit's head is made out of foam
Thanks Adam Kreutinger😁😁👍👍
Thank you for real for every Video. It helped me a lot and i have a new hobby. Thank you!
Happy to help! Thanks so much for your support!
I am definitely using this for a kermit puppet
Adam: How to make a frog puppet!
Everybody in the back of their minds: Kermit?
Speaking of which how is Kermit doing fozzie
Skin Kermit.
So adorable!
Love your videos and all the technical methods you are teaching! I tried one of the basic head..I’m quite happy, I will post it on Instagram tagging you!thank you!
I want to make one exactly like this I love it so much and I am looking forward to going through this process!
Are there any alternatives to the spray adhesive for the mouth plate? Something that’s more easy to come by?
Contact cement will work.
Awesome!
I have this one half way built and it looks a little off. But I will get more practice!
I hope to one day design my own and start a business.
Hello do you still have the pattern on you, the website is no longer up, and I really want to build this, could you help?
Hands down all puns are intended. 😁😁😁🙊🙉🙈
Great video! Thanks!
I just realized arlo is in the theme song. Did you make the arlo puppet?
Yes. He said he did
@@GodzillaKaijuGK I mean I assumed he did because it's in the theme, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
i love frog puppets
11:08 the full showcase of the completed frog puppet
For the mouth plate, if you don’t have plastic stuff like that, can you use cardboard?
you can
How were you playing the puppet like from the Bottom or like from the back
Thanks for sharing this
I'm gonna make a kermit puppet out of this, thanks puppet Nerd!
I really love your puppets here! They look just like Jim Henson's styled puppets! 😁
I will.make him brown and ask people on the street if they had Wilkins Coffee
I had a stroke reading this
@@lionstudios.e-o.7382 Strange things seem to happen to people who don't drink Wilkins!
Lol
and then shoot them if they say no
@@dripnx6381 *BANG* This has been a public service announcement.
I used this pattern to make a Kermit the frog puppet. Also is camp puppet ever coming back? I would LOVE to join
my man
is dope Man
nice video EVER!
Yeeeeeeeesssssss I’ve been waiting for this for forever
how do you make hands like kermit the frog cus I noticed they are pretty small and thin
It looks like the frog is having an essential crisis in the thumbnail as they read the text.
Constantine be like: 11:14
XD This is actually a very, very, very good puppet. Congratulations.
omg i have been waiting since like last Febuary! FINALLY
OMG I have been Asking this for YEARS
I gave my cat a bath once. The cat enjoyed it, but I was spitting hair for a week. 6:37
I love your videos
It's not easy being... purple.
No its not easy being green lol
@@HitToyCompany If I were green I would be sued by Disney!
i want to hear that song
I.m love puppetys 🎭
That's awesome and easy!!! ❤
Can we make a hollow ping pong ball an eye for this kind of puppet? I just think how I can montage the eye ball except for the screwing technique!?
I wanted a tutorial of this i love you'r videos
How do you wrap a full eye to get eye lids on a full doll head? Very cool
What format paper do you recommend to print out your pattern?
8.5 by 11
@@PuppetNerd okay thank you very much
That thing be looking like A Fraggle from Fraggle rock
Same here... It brought back " not even anyone could force me to go into that room, I will not go!"." Thank you for promising me!".
Hey Adam do you are you gonna make a video of how to do eyelids for this type of puppet
Can you use sharpie for the puples?
Just stumbled upon your channel. Nice work!
Thabks for stopping by!
0:02 Hey look, it's Arlo!!
That is so cool
I know this is an old video, so I probably wont get a response, but what type of material did you use? I would love to make this, and wold love to know what kind of felt, or fleece, or whatever material you used
Is this some special fleece or is it just like the fabric used for clothing?
I use this. www.gastage.com/fabrics/antron-fleece-nylafleece-nylon-puppet-fleece
@@PuppetNerd Thanks Adam, you are the best :)
Kydex is a cheap sheet plastic thats easily heated to bend or mold. Lots of holster are made from it.
Where would you see that used in this build? It’s a little stiff to use for the mouth.
@@PuppetNerd not this project but 1/16” kydex on a larger one would probably work well. Would be a good application for a beak too. Draw the patter and put it in the oven for a few min and it cuts with a razor very easily. Then stiffens as it cools
I have Question Adam if i were to use different eyes like to try to make a Kermit puppet using this pattern and technique would i need to change any measurements or just simply use diferrent eyes?
kermit does not have an eye bracket. his eyes are only half ping pong balls, not full balls. hope this helped
If anyone was wondering, you can make a frog puppet that looks like kermit without any foam or stiching, only needs hot glue
Really good ideas and good work
Thanks so much!
friend, I'm glad I found your video with a great explanation. I ask where I could find the molds to cut (design) the parts of the frog. Would you help me?
