1. Start by gathering supplies such as fabric, scissors, thread, and buttons.
2. Cut out two rectangles of fabric that are slightly larger than your desired size for the head and body.
3. Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise, with right sides together. Sew along the long side using a sewing machine or by hand.
4. Unfold one of the rectangles and place it on top of the other, matching up the raw edges.
5. Pin around the edge of the fabric, making sure there is enough room for the arms and legs.
6. Sew around the pinned area using a sewing machine or by hand. Leave an opening at the bottom for turning the puppet inside out.
7. Turn the puppet inside out through the opening you left. Push the stuffing into the body and head, then stitch up the hole you made.
8. Sew the eyes onto the face, followed by the nose and mouth.
9. Add buttons to the hands and feet.
10. Finally, use embroidery floss to create hair and facial features.
