An empty plastic detergent bottle has a nice shape and will serve as the body of your marionette.

First, cut 5 pieces of 18-gauge wire six inches long. With the needle nose pliers, again make a loop at one end of each wire, just as you did for the "head" wire" in Step #4.

Using your darning needle, carefully make 2 small holes through the plastic bottle where the "shoulders" would be on the bottle. Now insert the straight end of the looped wire all the way through the holes and out the other side.
