Project: Yab Puppet in Pink Fur

pink furry puppet

This full-sized pink furry puppet can be made in-the-hoop of your embroidery machine.

No modifications were made to the Yab pattern to make this little guy – just use pink Mongolian faux fur and pink fleece for the arms.

Instructions Checklist

  • Make the puppet according to the design instructions using the materials listed above. NOTE: This puppet’s nose is smaller than the nose pattern with the Yab puppet pattern. About 2/3 the size.
  • Trim the fur on the front of the face (around the eyes, nose, mouth, and chin)
  • (optional) create wired armatures for the hands and insert the wire hand into the stitched puppet hands, then make a loop in the tail of the hand wire and insert it into the plastic balloon stake. Make the wire loop fat enough so it fits tightly into the balloon stake so the hand won’t come loose. Check out the Video for puppet arms in the Doll & Puppet Video series.
  • And that’s it! An adorable pink furry puppet! (not gonna lie, he’s my favorite so far, I’ve named him Beasley)
