Grover Replica Puppet Build
Replica Builds, Sesame StreetThis is a quick image guide on how I built my Grover replica. I tried to provide a lot of pictures for you to give you ideas on how you can build your own. Enjoy and feel free to ask me anything. I do not sell any replicas. This is simply a fun hobby I do for recreation only.
Foam body and skull patterns. This includes the skull and the lower jaw.
Using contact cement to glue the foam pieces together.
Creating mouth plate. The mouth plate is only hinged by the fabric vs tape as it allows Grover to have a loose jaw.
Added individual finger holders for better control.
Attatched mouth plate to upper foam skull and lower foam jaw.
Created and dyed with Rit red dye the lips out of antron fleece and foam.
Sew head and body pieces together.
Trimmed fur.
Casted eyes with white molding plastic. Used plastic spoons as the mold.
Mocking up facial features.
Used Rit dye to dye antron fleece for nose. Covered styrofoam egg with fleece for nose.
Created hand rods with wood dowels, beaded arms, and foam hands. Combined to body of puppet with doll joints. Final trim.
