I MADE A MUPPET!

In anticipation for Jason Segel's new Muppet movie - I decided to make my own muppet. I've also been watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall a bunch... Anyway, I found some tutorials and mixed and matched them to make what i wanted.

Cut it out and flipped it inside out:




Made mouth board with cardboard and felt then I glued it in. I also stuffed the arms.


Sculpted foam to stuff the head:



NOSE:


Cut and flipped inside out:


Stuffed and glued on:

EYES:

Added pink strip and glued it on:



Added pupils and eyebrow:
