Anyone have any good links for materials? I basically looking for any and all info on what materials you guys think I should use.

I need a Pepe to sit with the Master Replicas Muppets...once I get those...someday.

But it I could make him work, that would be great too. I've never made a puppet like him, all of mine so far have been Muppet styled puppets that you put your hands up and work.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'll start:

1. A stick


(or rod, OK?)


sorry that's all I got.

An easy way to make the mechanism for a puppet like Pepe is to buy a fish hook remover (you can find these in the fishing section at Wal-Mart usually). It works like a trigger and the part that opens and closes could be used for his mouth.

Also, if you search for "rod puppet" or "Pepe" here in the puppetry forum you'll find a number of old threads that will be helpful.
