That Time I Hand-Stitched a Spiderman Hand Puppet

I am not a very crafty person, but occasionally I get a wild hair to make something, usually a gift, which usually ends in epic failure.

Last Christmas, I had the bright idea to make my young nephew a set of super hero finger puppets.  My mom and I had a "craft day" where she zoomed through sewing several beautiful Barbie dresses for my niece and I struggled to make part of one Superman finger puppet.  For four hours.

I gave up and bought him something for Christmas.

However, I got one of those wild hairs again in August.  My nephew was turning five, and I was feeling both crafty AND frugal.  Sometimes a great combo, oftentimes a disastrous combo.  I had a bunch of felt leftover from the failed finger puppets, so I thought why not try a hand puppet?  Surely that would be easier!

This time it turned out well.

 Standing up on an upside down glass to show his full glory.

In my usual procrastinating manner, I started on a Wednesday or Thursday night (can't remember which) and finished on Sunday.  The birthday party was Sunday afternoon.  I eyeballed the entire thing, so I don't have any recommendation for patterns.  Just know that if I can do it, you can, too.

I'm planning on making Batman for Christmas.  Hopefully it will go as well as this one did!
