Jekyll Puppet: Clothes

He’s got clothes now! It took a while and a lot of care, but it was fun! Here’s a short breakdown for those interested:

I bought some cheap scraps of different materials from the nearest fabric chain store.

For the designs, I used the puppet clothing templates graciously shared by Nick Hilligoss on his gallery. I adapted them to fit my puppet’s body shape (this took some trial and error… and error…)

Since I don’t have any sewing skills, I used regular craft glue to hold the pieces together at the seams. Works for me!


Before I could finish the shirt and collar, I had to build a bit of the neck. I mixed some plasticine to give a rather grayish dull skin color (since I want a desaturated, muted look) and built it up around the neck armature wire.

The tie has a piece of wire mesh sandwiched between two layers of cloth, so it can be shaped and animated!

Here’s a WIP image, and a pic of the finished clothes. Enjoy!
