Maker Jim Henson in 1969: HOWTO make a puppet

Video link. Jim Henson teaches viewers how to make puppets from tennis balls, spoons, socks, cardboard tubes, envelopes, and other common household items. Lots of interesting commentary on puppet aesthetics and utility, too! Hearing his voice, which isn’t a stretch from Kermit’s, is always a treat.
