I’m not the only person who will say this man has inspired me. His love of not only puppetry but the arts as a whole is beautifully infectious. May he rest in peace, the world is a happier place thanks to you.

OMGOSH I used your free pattern to make a mouse Snoof for our Library reading time. It's so AWESOME --- I'll update and let you all know what the kids think of the mouse. Thank you, Adam, for sharing and showing us how to make these adorable puppets. I can hardly wait to make the next one.

I made my first puppet using your free pattern and even added “the brain” to make the puppy puppet. I could not be happier with the results. You are an amazing teacher and your videos are so detailed. I’m hoping to turn my new skills into a puppet making ministry. Thanks, Adam! Praying for your healing too. My son-in-law just rang the bell after his last chemo. He has battled stage 4 for a year.

Oh, adorable! I love it! I'm going to make one for the children I teach online.

[rzavijc]

Me too! I watched darci Lynne and wanted to start ventriloquism but I had no puppet and thanks to ur awesome tutorials I have one! Great job! 😊

[JosephScarbrough]

So glad to see you found the time to do some more quick tutorials for everybody, Adam! Your older one was very helpful and insightful, and hey - love what you've done with these new videos, your end screens make you look like a real-deal YouTube celeb! Hope to see more content from you soon; otherwise, see you around Muppet Central and Facebook!

I've made this puppet now, it was so easy & my grandson loves it plain & simple. I've now got pingpong balls & different coloured furry fabrics to make some more.... I'm hooked. Thank You.

My son and I used your tutorials to create Cesar Chavez for a school project. It came out amazing. Thank you so much!

[jameswilson]

what a great way to spend the time being creative at home Thanks, Adam

[kuutamojalka]

The pattern is so much simpler than I expected! OwO!! I have to get started right away!! This is really cool thank you!

[michealfierce]

Thank you! I made my first puppet, just fallowing your videos i have found fur very forgiving to a new puppeteer i was able to hide alot of my mistakes in the fur. i started by making my own pattern. again fallowing your videos.First mistake I cut him a little short and he turned out a little small for my hand. However my son loves him.

[tangoandfriends]

This is such a brilliant resource for aspiring puppeteers! I've been working with bought puppets which I love, but the idea of creating my own characters is really appealing !! Thanks :)

[lloydjohnson]

This is amazing. You made it in almost two minute video. All the videos I have seen are around thirteen minutes.

[MrVideo-llwl]

Thank You for your videos. We have made our own puppets, one for our Dad and one for each of us three boys. We have started our own channel. We use your videos to learn to make puppets and to learn to make effective puppet shows. Thank you again.
