How to Make Finger Puppets from fabric

I have failed miserably in my many attempts to make finger puppets with felt to go with my Quiet Books.  I guess there is a time in which we should just call it quits and give up!  But.. that doesn't mean to forget!  So I fiddled with my  3-D Images  creation idea... and BINGO.....came up with a way to make them into finger puppets!
Pick a fabric that has a large image on it....fuse iron on interfacing to the back.  Cut around edges leaving about 1/2 inch allowance.

 Cut a piece of felt  and a piece of fuse DOUBLE SIDED interfacing the same size and press with iron.  


Cut another piece of felt about 1 inch larger than the image and lay the image on top and machine stitch just slightly to the left of the image outline. Stitch all the way around, leaving the bottom of the image open.  Cut slightly to the right of the image outline, trimming off all the allowance.  Use a very small pair of SHARP pointed scissors for this... makes it so much easier and precise!


And there you have it... a finger puppet.  Rather quick and easy!
