This gnome hat is, by far, the easiest accessory I've ever made for a puppet. It's genuinely just a large party hat. If you're wondering where the pointy tip of the rolled poster board is, I cut it off to allow for a droopy point on the final version. If I could go back, I would cut off a little bit more. I'm really just posting these pictures here in case someone ever needs to make one of their own.

I'm making good progress on the gnome puppet! He is supposed to be a character that is a little on the grumpier side, so that's why he has somewhat of a perpetual frowning face. As I build puppets, I try not stay so rigid with what I started with in my concept drawings. I like to leave room for creative adaptation as I work. In this case the drawing shows a mustache. However, after playing around with different mustache styles, I decided I liked him better without one (actually a lot of gnomes aren't pictured with mustaches). Also, the yellow hat is not the actual hat, it is a placeholder for the red one.
The build for the 2nd main character for my major project has begun! As always, I began with a quick sketch of the direction I want the character to go. For this particular character, I didn't need to create a crazy head design/pattern since he has a lot of facial hair. His head is just my simple, round head puppet pattern. This round head will help give him a squatty look as well. Next up is the neck, beard, and facial features!
