Send a photo of person – yourself, a loved one, your favourite celebrity – and our puppet makers can make them into a custom puppet. Our famous lookalike puppets are frequently used on TV and on stage, by comedians, ventriloquists and celebrities. Previous Picture to Puppet orders have also included companies getting all their board members made up as puppets, business people using puppets of themselves for adverts, and lots of individuals as gifts. Our portrait puppets are available as full or half body hand puppets or glove puppets.You can also add character with moving eyebrows or a blink mechanism!

We can make a custom soft toy of your illustration, book character, your company’s logo, your charity mascot… or pretty much anything you like.

We can even make your Mum come out of a jack in the box! (Or your favourite TV personality, your boss, or pretty much anyone else). You can choose the colour of the box, what they’re wearing and what they look like.
Leith Toy Hospital
Leith Toy Hospital has grown out of Picture to Puppet and taken on its own identity. At Leith Toy Hospital, we repair and restore all kinds of modern and antique toys. We have a full time teddy surgeon, who repairs the soft toys, and a doll specialist who repairs plastic, porcelein and composition dolls. We also have an electrical technician, who fixes mechanical and electrical toys.
