TUTORIAL:  Circus Finger Puppets  SET 3

March 18, 2015 by Daniela Leave a Comment

Hi, Alicia from Felt With Love Designs here again! I am continuing my circus toy theme today with the third set in my series of circus finger puppets. Circus Finger Puppets - Set 3 - Clowns

Set one

included a couple circus tents and a ticket booth. Set two contained the first few characters (ringleader, strongman, and circus girl.) Be sure to check those out as well, if you missed them! Today, I bring you a set of silly clowns and will continue the series over the next couple months with a few more characters, animals, and vehicles so be sure to follow along! And, if you are enjoying these finger puppets, don’t miss the woodland finger puppets* we designed for One Thimble. Supplies needed:

  • The Pattern
  • Felt (skin tone, white, black, pink, bright pink, blue, light blue, red, brown)
  • Embroidery thread to match
  • Scissors (these* are my favorite for cutting precisely)
  • Freezer paper (optional – see my tutorial on using freezer paper to precisely cut your pattern)

To sew the first clown:

  1. Cut all of the pieces from felt
  2. Sew the white undershirt to the front body piece

      3.  Sew the green vest pieces over the white shirt     circus finger puppet - green vest

      4.  Position the pink flower over the vest and sew in place     circus finger puppet - pink flower

      5. Sew the hair to the top of the head, overlapping the face just a little (I double up the hair and blanket stitch the top edge for durability) 6. Sew on the red nose in the center of the face 7. Embroider the facial features 8. Match up the embellished front with the back and stitch them together, using a blanket stitch, leaving the bottom open. I also go back and stitch just the front edge of the opening with a blanket stitch to reinforce it but that is totally optional.     circus finger puppet - clown1

      To sew the second clown: 1.  Cut all of the pieces from felt 2.  Sew the white undershirt to the front body piece 3.  Sew the blue vest pieces over the white shirt     circus finger puppet - blue vest       4.  Position the red bow tie in the center of the puppet, over the vest and sew in place 5.  Sew the hair to the top of the head, overlapping the face just a little (I double up the hair and blanket stitch the top edge for durability) 6.  Sew on the red nose in the center of the face 7.  Embroider the facial features 8.  Match up the embellished front with the back and stitch them together, using a blanket stitch, leaving the bottom open.
