Puppet workshop

Hi class,

So here we are, starting the puppet workshop with Easter holidays around the corner!!!

As we are in the Setmana Cultural and we haven't got much time to make the puppet I'll give you the instructions in Catalan. 

Passes que heu de seguir per fer una titella (persona)

 (per titelles d'animals mirau l'entrada de Materials for the puppet workshop)

1. Agafau una fulla de diari o fol per reciclar i feis una bolla de tal manera que a la part inferior podeu ficar el pal que heu duit.
Amb l'ajuda de la cinta de carrosser (la cinta blanca que vos aniré passant) anau enrevoltant el cap perquè no es desfaci.

2.Llavors passau la tela per damunt el cap i uniu la tela al coll i allà posau més cinta de carrosser perquè no es mogui.

3.Agafau els cartronets del paper higiènic i el duis per fer dos forats a cada un d'ells.

4.Passau el pal que heu duit pels dos forats de cada cartronet. Un anirà col·locat just davall el cap (serà el tronc) i l'altra una mica més avall (serà el ballador).

5.Posau una mica de cinta de carrosser al pal just davall el cartronet per evitar que patini per avall.

6. Agafau un tros de cordell que vos he donat i aferrau la part central a l'esquena (el cartronet superior)


En aquests moments la titella us hauria de quedar així (imatge de l'esquena)

7. Agafau el patró del vestit que vos he donat i tallau la tela resseguint la forma del patró.

8. Grapau la tela pels laterals i davall del braç.

9. Posau  la tela a senendret (girau-la perquè les grapes quedin dins)

10.Vestiu la titella i posau-li un cinturó perquè no s'òbriga el vestit de darrere.

11. També amb la mateixa tela del cinturó li podeu fer un mocador pel coll (així tapareu la cinta de carrosse que hi ha a la zona del coll)

12. Agafau el tros de cartronet color taronja fluix que vos he donar i feis la forma de la ma tal com podeu veure en les imatges que surten de la titella en aquesta entrada.

13 .Agafau el cartronet que serà la ma, dins posau cola blanca i col·locau el darrer centímetre de cordell (hi ha dues mans, una per cada extrem de cordell) i l'extrem d'un dels pals de brocheta.

14. Feis els ulls aferrant botons amb cola blanca.

15. Pintau la boca amb el bolígraf permanent.

16. Feis filaments de la llana que vos hem passat per fer la cabellera de la titella. Tallau la llargària segons voleu que la titella tengui els cabells curts o llargs.


Heu arribat a la darrera passa i la titella vos hauria de quedar una cosa semblant en aquesta (segur que la vostra és molt millor!!!)

Great job!  You're done!!!!
