Repairing Puppet Strings

Detach the severed/damaged strings. This can be done by cutting them or carefully pulling them out.

Thread the fishing line through the needle as you would with thread and tie a simple knot to secure the fishing line.

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

Insert the needle into a secure part of the puppet's feet or other necessary puppet part.

Note: The material may resist the needle at first.

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.

If you need to make a handle, take the two wooden sticks and cross them to where they are perpendicular to each other.

Secure the two sticks with tape or glue where the two sticks cross.

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.

This is what your puppet should look like.

Happy puppet-ing!
