1- Seal the envelope. Cut one short side open. Cut a small triangular piece out of the center o f the opposite side.

The puppet will pop out o f the open side.

Cut a red triangle-shaped hat.

3- Put the end of the straw between the triangles and glue them together. Slide one of the puppet’s hands between the triangles on each side. Glue on the head and the hat. Glue a craft feather t o the hat. Let the puppet dry.
