First, we designed our rod puppets on a plan. Then we scrunched some newspaper up to make the puppet's head, nose and ears. Next we put a hard, wooden cane in the head for the body and covered the head with coloured tissue paper to make it look like our character. After that we made a neck using more tissue paper.
"We felt excited because we had never built a puppet before," Quote by Taylor Lurkins.
The next stage was to put a carboard roll on as the puppets shoulders. Afterwards we cut our arms for our puppet from some thin string and glued them onto the shoulders with a hot glue gun.

DANGER! Do not touch the hot glue gun because it is extremely hot and will burn you.
We used stiff garden wire to bend into a hand shape and cellotaped it to the end of the string arms. After we attached the hands we covered them with tissuepaper the same colour as our face to make them look like our character.

Next we made the legs using various pieces of cardboard tubes. We joined these together using small pieces of fabric and the hot glue gun so the puppets could sit down and bend at the knee. This made them look more like our character. We were all very pleased with what the puppets looked like so far. 
Later on, it was time for the decoration of the puppets. We put on: button eyes, face detail, hair or fur (depending on our character), a body and clothes. We made sure we looked carefully at our plans for this part so our puppets would look like our characters.
