Find an old bottle. An empty detergent bottle or dish washing bottle works perfectly. A white bottle is even better. Decorations will be seen easier on this type of bottle.
Locate a beat up old broom. Remove the broom from the handle by using a saw. If the handle is too long, cut it in half. You want the stick to be long enough for you to control the puppet without being seen behind a barrier.
Collect scraps of cloth or material to make clothes for your puppet. Be creative and decorate your puppet to be a particular gender. Use the buttons to make the eyes, nose and mouth of your puppet. Glue the yarn onto the head of your puppet so it will have hair.
Slide the broomstick handle into the hole of the bottle. Hot glue around the broom stick to secure it in the bottle.
