This Doorway Puppet Theatre is just the perfect project to make for the little ones in your life!
This is the perfect make for inspiring creativity in children. You will be amazed at the plays, musicals and magic shows that they can come up with. It will keep them busy for hours on end! The Doorway Puppet Theatre is ideal for rainy day play or to bring out on those dark winter afternoons.
When complete, the Doorway Puppet Theatre measures approximately 29" wide x 52.5" high.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED
Other than the usual sewing tools and notions, you will also need to purchase:
:: Extendible/adjustable tension curtain rod measuring at least 30"/75cm wide
:: Bamboo or narrow/lightweight dowel cut to 28.5"/72cm wide
DIFFICULTY
This project involves some careful measuring and mostly straight line stitching. There is some curved stitching to be done on the pelmet, but if you take your time and pivot frequently (stop with the needle down) then you will get there!
