Two String Horse Marionette This simple marionette is surprisingly effective. The movement of the mylar skirt will enhance a trot or a gallop. The horse pattern, copied onto cardstock, is cut-out and decorated. The mylar is simply glued between the two piece of the horse pattern. Strings attached at the tail and mane go up to a short stick. |

Penguin Marionette This little fellow has only three strings, but he can waddle with the best of them. For a special surprise, his head can fly up, away from his body. |

Corry: A Corrugated Cardboard
Marionette Designed by Kurt as a "starter marionette", this fellow can be constructed without the use of any power tools (or prior experience). Corry is light weight, but well-balanced, and moves very well. He can even be built with a moving mouth. |
