Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to make a finger theater is to use a glove on which the fairy tale characters will be sewn. It is best if each new doll had its own glove - this way it will better hold on to the child's hand. However, the most common variant is when all the characters of the fairy tale are located on one glove, one on each finger.
Step 2
Make your first performance based on the "Turnip" fairy tale. On the left hand on the thumb there will be a mouse, on the index finger - a turnip. On the right - a grandfather, a woman, a granddaughter, a bug and a cat.
Step 3
Turnip. Use yellow or orange and green fleece to create it. Cut out two orange circles, sew them together, leaving a place for the stuffing below and in order to sew on the glove finger. The tops can be made by cutting them out of green fabric into cloud-shaped pieces. Sew them, turn them inside out, tack and quilt loosely to give the desired relief. Sew the green "cloud" to the turnip.
Step 4
Mouse. Use a gray cloth for it. Cut 2 frusto-conical pieces to match the diameter of the glove finger. Sew and stuff them. Make the head out of two circles. Also make the nose in the shape of a cone. Do not forget to make a mustache, just sew it on tightly so that the child cannot pull out and swallow.
Step 5
Grandfather, woman, granddaughter. Make these characters to the waist. At the base of the torso is the same truncated cone. Make a checkered shirt for your grandfather, a floral dress for a woman, and a bright sundress for your granddaughter. Wash your hands on top with all of the same fabric. Sew the head from two circles. Give your grandfather a big nose and a beard, put on a hat. Babe - also a big nose, glasses, a scarf. Make yarn braids for your granddaughter. Draw the eyes and mouths of all characters with acrylic paints or embroider with beads.
Step 6
The bug and the cat. Make the torso and head similar to the previous characters. Sew on the bug big ears and nose, crochet tail. For a cat - draw a muzzle, sew on triangular ears and a mustache, do not forget about a large tail.
