Or Follow These Step by Step Instructions

Print out our template. You can print them on regular print paper although heavier print paper is recommended.

You can print on regular white paper or use colored paper where it works – like orange paper for the Jack-o-Lantern printable Halloween puppet.

If you printed our black and white printable templates to color in, now is the best time to do it.

We love coloring with markers!

Once you have colored your puppet, it’s almost time to cut it out.

First make a cut to separate it from the strips, don’t jet trim it.

You’ll notice there are markings next to the puppet, showing you where you need to make the folds.

Make the folds along those dashed lines.

To make the folds really crisp, run your finger or a craft stick over the folds.

Now cut out the puppet.

And strips and teeth if you are making a vampire.

If making a vampire, you’ll have to stick the teeth into it’s mouth.

Fold along the dashed line on the teeth and apply glue on the area with the word glue on it.

Glue inside the mouth.

Cut the straps.

Glue them (arched) on the puppet.

All done!

Your Halloween puppet is ready to be played with.
