Jim Henson shows you how to make a Muppet

fde0_300px-JimandMuppets.jpgMuppets rule. It's just one of those facts. I don't know anyone on this planet who doesn't have just a little love for those bug-eyed furry fellows.

I would dearly love a muppet of my very own but breaking into Jim Henson's Creature Shop and kidnapping one seems rather risky. So crafting your very own muppet seems the way forward, and who better to show you than Jim Henson himself?

When I came across this Making Muppets video on the Mousehunter blog (excellent Mousehunter books if you fancy a fantastic mouse-and-pirate-flavoured read) I had to share.

The Muppet master takes you through the whole process of making your very own crazy-furred friend from all kinds of household objects. As he shows us how it's done he deals with some great interruptions from several weird and wonderful members Muppet-kind too.

You don't get a much better puppet-making lesson than that folks.

Happy Muppet-filled Friday!

    A Muppet is a combination marionette and hand puppet developed by Jim Henson and Don Sahlin.

  • Wow! That is such a cool video. Thanks so much for sharing it. Now, I just have to figure out to make one from completely recycled materials (:
