I am often asked if I sell ready made puppets made from my puppet sewing patterns. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to do so. But I do know of a talented, creative professional puppet maker who does make puppets for sale using my patterns and sells through Etsy.
Nenas Puppet Pals Shop on Etsy
Her name is Irene and she has an Etsy store called Nenas Puppet Pals Shop. I always highly recommend her to anyone who needs a ready made puppet. Irene can make a puppet similar to the ones pictured on the cover of my patterns. She also is very creative in adapting patterns to create whole different characters whether animal or human to meet a customer’s specifications if they want a custom puppet. In my opinion, she makes awesome puppets! I am always impressed with each of her finished puppet creations. She has a flair for turning a puppet into a character with a personality of its own.
Story Time Puppet Sets
She has some delightful puppet sets for classic story time books. She has used my patterns but has added her special magic touch to create puppets that are handcrafted with exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone who watches these characters come to life. The classic books are The Three Little Pigs, Old McDonald, and Little Red Riding Hood.
The Three Little Pigs set features the three vibrant pigs and the formidable Big Bad Wolf. As a special bonus, you’ll receive the pig’s stylish vests, two straw hats and a beautifully illustrated storybook at no extra charge. I like to look at the pigs’ expressions to figure out which one was the architect who built the brick house.
Meet Old McDonald along with his charming pig, cow and duck-each one designed to add excitement to your story time. As a bonus, you’ll also receive along with his overalls and hat, an extra shirt and a storybook at no extra charge. All of the puppets are delightful, but my favorite is the duck. When I designed the pattern I didn’t realize I got the bill so oversized! But with how Irene created this duck with glassy eyes and fur for feathers, it is perfect!
Little Red Riding Hood is brought to life with these adorable puppets. Every time I look at Irene’s interpretation of the granny wolf, I chuckle. The glasses are priceless! The wolf’s granny outfit can be removed so that the wolf can play a different role for a different story. As a bonus, you’ll receive their charming outfits and a beautifully illustrated storybook at no extra charge.
Be sure to visit Irene’s Etsy store Nenas Puppet Pals Shop to see what other delightful ready made puppets she has made that are available for immediate delivery.
