Video link. Jim Henson teaches viewers how to make puppets from tennis balls, spoons, socks, cardboard tubes, envelopes, and other common household items.

Hearing his voice, which isn't a stretch from Kermit's, is always a treat.]]> http://boingboing.net/2010/09/10/maker-jim-henson-in.html/feed 20
