Every house should have an elf

I was looking to make some new puppets this weekend and was looking for inspiration. And I kept circling back to Dobby. I couldn't think how to make him work as a sock puppet (which had been my plan initially) so I reapproached it. 

I had some plastic balls lying around from something else and I always have bamboo skewers in my supplies.

2 more puppet bases for future projects!

With some scrap plastic and fabric, a pipe cleaner, and a little craft foam, I have a happy little Dobby. He is particularly happy with his sock.
