Puppet Your Pup

It's pretty fun to make your pet talk. It's also fun to send as a gift to someone who really loves theirs. It's really, REALLY fun to have a pet that can do Zoom calls.

Send us a photo or two of the pet you want puppet-ed and within a few weeks, you'll be going on walks, having conversations about dry vs. canned, baths (love 'em or hate 'em)

Price Varies with Details $ - $$

All types of creatures welcome.

Unicorn Cats exist, by the way. I've seen 'em.

Who/what/why

Stephani Vrell Sachs, Human

Since 2011, Stephani* has taught 100's of humans to build puppets.

Half Pint Puppets has been successfully luring people, young and old, away from computer screens to draw, build, perform with their hands...puppetry.

Before Half Pint Puppets was born, Stephani designed and built big, furry costumes for Children's Educational Theater in Salem, Oregon. While attending a workshop at The 2nd City in Chicago (name dropping), she attended an improvised puppet show, and was hooked. Puppets are like a costume for your hand! Stephani taught puppet building, along with costuming, at the Children's Educational Theater until moving to Seattle with the quest of putting a puppet on every hand in the city!

Now it's your turn to make a puppet!

*Stephani is the person writing this bio. It's strange to write in the 3rd person, but no one else is here to do this.
