Creating characters through costumes
Costumes enliven and impress, entertain and inform. They help the audience tell
the good guys from the bad guys, the Cinderella in rags from the Cinderella in
magical riches. They can turn the same puppet into a dancer, a firefighter, a
milkmaid, a princess, or a clown. Making a costume is a lot like making a whole
new puppet. And that’s exciting!
You don’t need to sew perfectly to create recognizable characters through costumes,
but you do need a willingness to experiment and an idea of what you want your
costumes to look like. Before you get started, you also need to consider your type
of puppet, type of theatre, and your stage setup.
Types of puppets
Puppets come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles, but you can use the same
techniques to costume just about any body. From a costuming standpoint, the
most important thing all puppets share is movement. Your puppet should move as
easily in its costumes as a human actor would, since puppets depend on motion for
a successful performance. Of course, different kinds of puppets move in different
ways, so it helps to know a little bit about your particular type of puppet.

Hand puppets
Perhaps most importantly, don’t make the costume
too tight fitting since this only emphasizes your puppet’s
flat figure. Both the hand puppet (Teddy) and the
marionette (Ginger Sweets) on the covers of this book
have flat, tube-shaped bodies, but as the pictures show,
you can costume just about anything if you put your
hands to it.
Most hand puppets have a tube-shaped body that’s
simple to costume, but (on the other hand) can also
present a real challenge. The shape (or lack thereof)
works fine for t-shirts, but how can you make elegant
outfits for a body that looks like a steam rolled salami?
Fortunately, there are some simple
techniques that won’t leave you
(or your hand puppet) feeling flat.
Although many hand
puppets move mainly at
the mouth, you need to
make sure your puppet’s
arms can move freely as
well. Don’t be afraid to
spend a lot of time in
the “Sleeves” chapter
until they fit just right.
Once you have the
sleeves made, make sure to adjust the length
(as on page 59) to allow for movement.
Use contrasting fabrics rather
than one solid color to give the
costume some depth and shape
Create a waistline using a skirt
(page 77), belt (page 113), or
pants, even if your puppet
doesn’t have legs (page 96)
If applicable, put the waistline
higher up than it would be for a
full-bodied puppet
NOTE:
For sock and other
soft-bodied puppets, you
may need to stuff the body
before costuming so that
your puppet’s body becomes
approximately the same size
as when your arm is inside.
Use shaping on sleeves and skirt
waists, like the gathering
technique shown on page 22
