How to make shadow puppet joints

Start by learning how to make a shadow puppet here or here; then come back and learn how to join the pieces together by using the below video…

I’ve done a short tutorial video on how to make shadow puppet joints. It’s a good accompaniment to my shadow puppet patterns on sale in my Store. (And it uses the "Mr Stripes" puppet pattern as an example). How to make a shadow puppet screen is discussed here; free patterns are here; how shadow puppets are different to silhouettes is discussed here; materials is discussed here. More patterns and puppet products are available here.

I was lazy and tried to just use paper fasteners. They didn't work that well, because the joint turned out too big, and you dont always have a way of hiding the two legs.

I've never thought about using paper fasteners. To be honest, I didn't know anything about making shadow puppets until I did a masterclass in Perth. It's amazing how easy they really are to learn and make!

Cheers,
