About the final project for: Amigurumi: Create Crochet Finger Puppets

Amigurumi: Create Crochet Finger Puppets

“You have reached the end of the course! I hope you had fun and have a head full of ideas. I love promoting a passion for reading. The characters in our favorite stories can be excellent friends and advisers. Reading a story to a child is a wonderful and enriching activity. Give it the time it deserves. You will not regret it! Now it's your turn to share your project. Let me show you the stages of your project that I would like to see: The story Choose the story you want to tell with your puppets. It can be a classic story or a recent one that you like because of the message or moral, or simply because of its characters. Many times the work of the illustrators is as important as the story and makes us fall in love with the book.

Draw! When you have the story selected, you can start designing your puppets. Remember to make a drawing first, try different options to customize it and select the colors. You don't need to buy whole balls. Many times the leftovers from previous jobs are enough and enough.
Threads, needles... action! Start weaving your puppet, keeping in mind your design. Adapt the pattern I prepared for this course. Dare to lengthen or shorten skirts, multiply curls, design hats, among other things. There is no right or wrong. And if you don't like something, you can unweave it and start over.
If this is your first time crocheting, take the time to get acquainted with the needle and practice the basic stitches you will need. There are only two: chain and half point. Get used to manipulating the needle and the threads running between your fingers easily, until you feel that you have acquired a comfortable enough position. Do not stress! It's easy and you're going to make it. Use the forum if you have questions. If you suddenly feel stuck, it's super normal. We are all going to help you. The only thing that matters here is that you don't stop practicing. Practice makes perfect, and the more you weave, the more ideas you will have and the more you will want to carry them out and see them in your hands. I also invite you to recommend stories and tales if you just come across one that has mobilized you and you want us to read them too. Share your project by clicking "Create your project". Also, if you share it on social networks, use the hashtag #AmourFouDomestika , so I can also share your creations with my followers. Thank you again for joining this adventure! I send you a hug and see you soon in the forum.”

“Final project We have reached the end of the course. I thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that everything we have been seeing helps you to activate your creativity and to revalue the moment of telling stories. Dedicate time. Telling a story is a wonderful activity that allows you to relate to the boys, enjoy a story, see how they feel, What do you think, what are you worried about? It encourages dialogue and greatly promotes enjoyment. Everything we have been seeing in this course will help you so that they can create the characters of the stories that they like to tell the mos...”
