Making a Dinosaur Hand Puppet with Sock

Get a sock that is clean and has a color you like

The first requirement for a dinosaur hand puppet is that the socks should be clean. The color of sock you choose should match the character you want to make.

  • Black is not really a nice color to use because it is harder to draw on. Materials need attaching to the sock in order to make the face. This is better than drawing the face.

Get a space for the face of your puppet

Slip the sock on one of your hands. With your thumb, form a lower jaw. Then form a face and upper jaw with your fingers. This will be used to block out spaces for eyes, hair, nose, and other features of the face on the sock.

Create eyes for your Dinosaur hand puppet

There are different objects you can use to make eyes for the dinosaur hand puppet.

  • You can try out googly eyes. Easily found at craft stores or in big box stores that have craft sections.
  • Some people also use eyes as beads. There is all manner of gifts available at craft stores.
  • You can also draw the rubber hand puppet eyes on a construction paper.
  • You may use overlapping circles made with felt material for the pupils, whites, and color of the eyes.
  • If you will not be able to make the eyes while the sock is on your hand, first use a small pen to mark the position for the eyes. This will give you an idea of the size you want for the eyes.

Add the eyes

After choosing the materials for the eyes, you can decide on the best way to attach them. You can use a hot glue gun for excellent results or easily use a glue stick.

  • You can either sew the eyes to your sock or attach beads and felt as eyes.
  • When using a hot glue gun, first remove the sock from your hand to avoid burning yourself.

Make the mouth of your Dinosaur Hand Puppet

Making a mouth for your puppet can be simple or complex, depending on how you want it.

  • To make a simple mouth, draw the lips with a crayon or fabric marker. It is easy to figure out where to place the mouth using the dimensions of your hand. Then draw the lips at the point where your fingertips form the puppet’s lips.
  • To make a complex mouth, you can add a tongue using felt or construction paper. Teeth can be made with beads. A mouth that is more elaborate can be drawn on the sock.

Make the puppet’s hair

If you want your animal hand puppets to have hair, you may use yarn, felt, string, or any other material you are comfortable using. Just cut the material down to size with scissors then glue the pieces to the top of your sock at the starting point of the puppet’s headline.

Create a nose for your Dinosaur Hand puppet

There are a lot of options for your puppet’s nose. Felt, crayons, pompom, markers, and other materials for your nose.

  • It is quite easy to draw nostrils for your puppets using black or color marker.

Add accessories

After adding the basics for your puppet, you can add other accessories. You can add antennae using pompoms and pipe cleaners. Ears made by folding felt materials. Hats and glasses can be added.

Making a Dinosaur Hand Puppet with Felt

  • You can use different materials like cloth, felt, or any fabric for your puppet’s hand

Use a material you can easily stitch together. Leftover pillowcase or old drapes can be used.

  • Make a template for the puppet

There are quite a number of ways you can get the perfect template for your rubber hand puppet. If you do not want to make one yourself, you can download it online or from craft stores.

  • To make a dinosaur hand puppet by yourself, put your hand on your piece of fabric with your hand down. Draw small dots on the material on both sides of your hand to measure out the width.
  • Afterward, you could decide on whether or not you want your dragon puppet to have hands. If there will be hands, know that the thumb and pinky will help control your puppet’s arms. Place your hand on the fabric again then you can decide on where you want the thumb and pinky fingers to emerge from.
  • There should also be room for your fingers in the puppet’s head. The index, ring, and middle fingers will have to rest there to make sure that there is space for the three fingers to fit perfectly into.
  • The rest of the drawing is your choice. Make two straight lines parallel to each other as your guide using the width of your hand. Then run the lines off diagonally away from each other to create the arms.
  • Make sure the hands are of the same length. After fully outlining the arms of the animal hand puppet, draw a half-circle that is wide enough for the head. You can then add horns, ears, etc.

Finally,

  • Overlap the two pieces of fabric on each other.

Place the fabric you either traced or drew on your template on the second piece of fabric.

  • Cut out the template on the two pieces of fabric.

Cut in a way that your hand still fits into the fabric. Be sure to line up the two pieces of the fabric properly. Then, after you might have started cutting, do not shift the two fabric pieces away from each other. If you are not quite comfortable with it, first trace the template on a piece of paper then cut a piece of fabric each time.

  • Sew both pieces of fabric together.

Get the cut-out fabric and sew around its outline. Be sure to reserve a hole in the bottom so you can easily put your hand through it.

Conclusion

A dinosaur hand puppet is seen as a puppet that you can control using a hand or hands. These hands are usually placed inside the rubber hand puppet. Also part of the animal hand puppets used to entertain children at parties or school events.
