Steps:
1
- Make 4 thumbnail sketches of different designs for your puppet.
- Make sure your design uses at least 2 geometric solids.
- Choose the design you like best or combine ideas to make a new one.
2
- Make at least 2 nets to use for the puppet head.
- Plan how to combine them so the mouth will open and close.
3
- Cut out your nets and glue them together.
- Join the two nets using strong tape such as duct tape.
- Make sure the mouth will open and close.
4
- Use glue to attach a thin layer of Model Magic to the surface of the net.
- Allow it to dry for at least a day.
5
- Although Model Magic sticks to itself it is a good idea to use glue to attach the new pieces of Model Magic for this project.
- As you add more Model Magic to the puppet head think about colour and texture.
- Mix primary colours to get new colours.
- Use a garlic press and other tools to create texture.
6
- Allow the puppet head to dry for 3 days.
- Once it is dry, you may want to give it a coat of acrylic varnish to make it stronger and give it a shiny finish.
