Easy Peasy No-Sew Puppet "Stage"



You know the moms out there who blog, breastfeed, homeschool, keep a perfectly orderly house, and craft every day of the week? Let me go ahead and clarify that I'm not one of them. Nope. I do like to take short cuts when I get the chance, and this is one of those deals. All you need are:
  • small doorway
  • tension rod that will fit said doorway
  • twin sheet (think Walmart or Goodwill)
  • scissors
Here is the great little secret about this project...the sheet already has the pocket for the tension rod sewn into it. Yep, that's right! Flip that sheet over to the wrong side, and look for the wide seam up at the top of the sheet. All you need to do is cut the long ends of the sheet, and cut the length to the size you want. Here is my primitive diagram - the green is the uncut sheet, and the purple is what you want to cut out. You can make it as wide or as narrow as you want.
Once you get it cut out, all you need to do is run your tension rod through the top, and fit it into your doorway. Taaadaaah!
