How to make a Marionette

Loading...

Glue the "clamp" type wooden clothespin to the end of the 10-inch MAIN BAR, as shown. Use a couple of pins to hold it in place until the glue dries. When dry, the glued clothespin will hold the LEG BAR on the MAIN CONTROL BAR (as shown in the next slide).

Glue the 6-inch HEAD BAR directly behind the clothespin as shown. When dry, run a string through the inside holes on this head bar so you can hang your marionette from a hook when not in use. Tie a small knot at each end of the string so it doesn't pull out, and snip off any excess. The 2 outermost holes will be used to run strings through the marionette's head.
