In order to restring your puppet, you will need:

  • Fishing line
  • Scissors
  • A sewing needle
  • Tape or glue
  • Two equally sized wooden sticks (such as chopsticks or pencils)

Note: The glue, tape, and sticks are only needed if you are restoring a handle, also.

      • Note: Tying the knot can be tedious, so it may take a few tries.

      • Pull the needle through the puppet part and tie another simple knot directly onto the location that was threaded through.

      • Note: You may want to tie a few simple knots for extra security.

      • Note: Tape is a faster fix, but may appear messier.

      • Tie a knot around the stick handle to secure the fishing line. (it may take several knots to secure the fishing line and you can adjust the length as needed with scissors)

      • Note: Repeat the previous steps to other parts of the puppet if necessary.
