How about a gorgeous head of hair for your sock puppet? Wrap your craft pipe cleaner around a finger to give it a spiral effect.

STEP 4:

Now bring your character to life! Glue your eyes, nose, and hair to the sock puppet. Get as creative as you like. Maybe your puppet has freckles, glasses, or three eyes instead of two.

Make sure the glue is completely dry before playing with your puppet.
