​Welcome to the world of Puppetello, where fur, fleece, foam, wool, and eyeballs collide!  I am Megan, a maker, a builder, a creator and a vintage fabric, faux fur, and textile addict!  Gathering random objects from unusual places hunting down and repurposing unique materials, coordinating colours and patterns, stitching, gluing, folding, weaving, cutting, drilling, sanding, shaping… all these things bring me a certain kind of joy that I cannot explain.

​Mission

Good quality handcrafted puppets are expensive! They are time-consuming to produce, and materials are costly.  My goal is to create well-made hand and rod puppets that are accessible to the average person. With the skills I have acquired over many years in the sewing, design and manufacturing industry, I am able to (a) create my very own pattern designs, exclusive to Puppetello, (b) perfect the most efficient techniques and smart, economical use of materials, and (c) source high quality supplies, materials and time saving tools, ensuring you get a top-quality puppet without the hefty price tag.  I have also eliminated a few of the more labour-intensive elements that make professional puppets so costly to make, like proper hand shapes with posable fingers, or elaborate inner foam structures (which are great for professional style puppets but not always necessary for practicing performers, or beginners).
