How to Make a Puppet (1953)

Demonstrates how the head and hands of a puppet are modeled from Plasticine, the application of paper-mache, ́ painting the puppet, designing and sewing the costumes, and controlling the puppet from the stage. While several kinds of puppets are shown, the audience is asked to suggest original ideas for creating puppets to fit particular needs.
