6 ADORABLE WAYS TO MAKE SPOON DOLL PUPPETS

I’m always impressed when I see an everyday item that can be turned into something fun and artistically expressed. Take the humble spoon. Add some paint, crafty embellishments and voila – you now have adorable spoon dolls that also function as whimsical hand puppets.

Some of the details on these spoon puppets are amazing, with some sporting dresses to covet. But if you’re not especially crafty it’s totally fine. These are just plain fun to look at and get ideas to make your own. Decorating spoons is a project little kids can do by simply filling in faces or gluing on beads, while older kids can take on more advanced designs. Either way, the results are bound to be adorable!
