Handcrafted Folk Art Crocheted Puppets

This collection of vintage hand puppets is a wonderful example of traditional textile folk art, blending functional play with artisanal charm. Standing nine inches tall, these puppets are meticulously constructed with a sturdy fabric bodice and wide sleeves designed for easy movement and expressive gesturing. The vibrant color combinations—ranging from deep forest greens to bold primary reds—give each character a distinct personality, while the simple, hand-finished features evoke a sense of nostalgic, old-world storytelling.

Please select your preferred color combination from the menu. Each puppet is sold individually.

Available Choices:
Red Bodice with Blue Sleeves
Red Bodice with Yellow Sleeves
Red Bodice with Orange Sleeves
Green Bodice with Blue Sleeves
Red Bodice with Green Sleeves

Green Bodice with Yellow Scarf (Funny Face)

These puppets are a fantastic addition to a Dark Academia-inspired study or library, where they can be displayed as "theatrical curiosities" alongside classic literature or vintage playbills. Their sculptural silhouettes and rich jewel tones make them equally appealing as decorative accents on a bookshelf or as functional pieces for a home theater. The "Funny Face" puppet, distinguished by its green bodice and bright yellow scarf, offers a playful contrast to the more traditional color pairings. Each piece has been remarkably well-preserved, with the fabric remaining crisp and the stitching secure, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship of late 20th-century handmade toys.
