I want to make a sock puppet for a project. Do you have any tips?

1. Start by gathering materials like yarn, fabric scraps, and buttons.
2. Cut out two pieces of fabric that are slightly larger than the area where your hands will be when holding the puppet.
3. Fold each piece in half lengthwise and sew up one side with a running stitch.
4. Turn the puppet inside-out so that the sewn edges are now on the outside.
5. Cut a small slit near the top of each hand and insert an armature made from a dowel or chopstick.
6. Sew the arms onto the puppet’s body using a needle and thread.
7. Cut a small hole at the end of each leg and insert a small dowel into the holes.
8. Sew the legs onto the body using a needle and thread.
9. Add facial features such as eyes and a mouth.
