Pillows are a good source of fur fabric for puppets (Shout out to Liz at <a href= http:\/\/www.puppatoons.com> Puppatoon<\/a> for that one. She is the queen of thrift store puppetmaking). Kids clothing can become puppet clothing. Odd bits and bobs can be used for all kinds of things. <\/p>\n<p>Hardware stores are material central for me. I find more stuff at better prices there than at the craft store. Cheap Rubber mats can become armor really easily. Plastic is in many forms there.<\/p>\n<p>Even at the craft store, I look at things in terms of what I would use it for and not necessarily the original purpose.
