Free toy theatre patterns
(If you’re looking for patterns for other puppet types, please use the menu to the right and select the ‘Free patterns’ category; you’ll find more lists there)
NOT to be confused with set designs/stages for puppetry (ie. booths, etc). The free patterns list for that can be found here.
I will be adding to this list as I find more patterns. Please note that these patterns come free courtesy of the credited people; please respect their wishes for creditation (if requested) if you publish the link elsewhere.
