SEW SPONGE TO SOCK

Use light green socks and make the same way as the clown on [page 40]. Substitute two thin pieces of yellow cellulose sponge in place of felt mouth. Use separate pieces for the top and bottom because dry cellulose sponge is not very pliable (Figure 1). Embroider a mustache, long hair and sideburns in dark green yarn. Sew on big yellow button eyes. Add a cowboy hat (see [page 31] for hats) with a silver star and stitch a bright bandana around the neck (Figure 2). Operate like the clown puppet.
