I used these on some broom puppets and fastened them on with a coat hanger. I folded the coat hanger into a "v" and run it directly through the styrofoam ball. I then glued a wiggly eye onto the ball over the coat hanger. I drilled holes in the broom and ran the coat hanger through it fastening it on. I just joined this list and have only caught the end of this line (the last two days) of messages. What are these eyes needed for? Also, I have just started my puppet team (no name yet) and work with an inner cities ministry program once a month with puppets. I have made 5 puppets and I have yet to put hair on two of them. I used One-Way Street's puppet patterns and did not like their hair idea. I made one female puppet with long yellow yarn hair and do not really like it. My question: How can this be done? I am looking for ideas or possibly instructions on doing different styles of hair. Also, I am looking for patterns of all types of puppets, including animal, monsters, etc. Thanks, In Service for Christ, Roy Slagle Roy.Slagle-AT-jbc.edu --- Personal replies to: Roy Slagle <Roy.Slagle-AT-jbc.edu> --- List replies to: puptcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Admin commands to: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu
