The Picture to Puppet Studio
We’re always rushed off our feet, but we have a great time working at Picture to Puppet. No two days are ever the same for a puppet maker, and the range of our customers’ creative ideas never ceases to amaze us!
One day we’ll be making a series of likeness puppets for celebrities to appear on the TV, and the next day we’ll be bringing a five-year-old’s drawing to life as a cuddly toy, and fixing caterpillar truck attachments onto the feet! Requests such as “could you make my Mum come out of a Jack-in-the-box?” always make us smile! As well as lots of different types of puppets and toys, we also make lots of interesting props for the puppets, like swords, sheilds, wheelchairs and hockey sticks.
Sustainability Policy
We believe in making things to last, and all of our puppets and toys are guaranteed for five years – if it breaks within that time, we will repair it free of charge. We’re a Zero waste Leith Business, and we reuse or recycle all of our waste. Where possible, we use reclaimed and recycled fabric for our puppets. All of our packaging is reused and recycled (forgive us any crumpling!). Our energy is all from renewable sources through Ecotricity. We also run Leith Toy Hospital which repairs broken toys. We also find new homes for unwanted toys through our toy hospital.
