I am sure that there are a lot of other puppet directors like myself who are always looking for inexpensive ways to add to their puppet accesories. A good friend of mine who is a puppet designer and maker gave me this helpful hint. It is SOOO simple. Instead of buying costly legs, one only has to get new or second-hand children’s knee socks — stuff them– and pin them to the half body puppet. Shoes fit on quite nicely too! With pants or a dress on, no one is the wiser. Enjoy!
