Custom Puppets Made to Order
If you’re looking for between 1 and 500 custom puppets, Picture to Puppet can help. All of our puppets are hand made in our Edinburgh studio to your exact specification. I can create custom puppets from a picture, photo or description. They may be from cartoon characters or likenesses of real people.
I run a highly personal bespoke service, and will chat with you in detail about exactly what your custom puppet requirements are and how your ideas can best be brought to life.
The price of your custom puppet will vary slightly according to the complexity of your design, but guideline prices are detailed below. Get in touch with mari@picturetopuppet.co.uk for an exact quote.
