Tutorial: Disney Princess Finger Puppets

A few days ago I showed you the Disney Princess finger puppets I made for my niece.

She needed a bag to carry them in, so we made it the shape of a castle.

They really were so simple to make, and oh-so-much fun to play with. And since I already put the time into making pattern pieces, why not share the with you so you can make them too?

You can download the PDF patterns here. It’s a document with five pages that look like this:

The supplies you’ll need are: Various felt colors (white/tan, pink, yellow, green, purple, red, dark blue, black, light blue), hot glue, ribbon.

Each page tells you the princess’ name and each piece you’ll need to cut and from what color. It also labels whether each piece is for the front or the back of the puppet.

Cut out your pattern pieces and then you’re ready to glue them together! I started by building the front of the puppet. For example, when building the Belle puppet, I started by gluing the layers of the skirt, then gluing them to the body (the rectangle with the rounded top). Then I glued the front and back body pieces together by going around the sides and rounded top, leaving the bottom open. I then covered the back of the head in glue, overlapped the body at the bottom of it, then glued the front of the head on, followed by the hair. You can add any extra accessories or extra dress details that you’d like.

For the castle bag, I cut out two pieces in pink and a piece of pink ribbon. I also cut out a piece for the entrance to the castle and glued down rosettes on either side. Then glue around the outside walls of the castle, and glued the ribbon in between the front and back at the tops of the two towers, leave the middle portion open.

Then enjoy how proud your little lady is of her puppets!

If you make a set, I’d love to see them! You can either leave me a link in the comments or email me at nolanandjill {at} gmail {dot} com.
