How to make Wookiee Finger Puppets
Cut a strip of felt the length of your finger and the width of two of your fingertips.
Run some glue along the edges of the felt and fold in half to create the initial puppet. Use scissors to cut long triangles in the bottom of the puppet.
Cut a small oval from black felt and glue to the center of the puppet. Glue a brown pom-pom directly above the black oval.
Glue googly eyes above the pom pom. Cut two eyebrows from blown felt and glue in place. Use a toothpick dipped in white paint to add teeth to the black oval.
