The puppet looks great.  Did you sew the clothes or glue?

I know what you mean.  I can’t sew to save my life, and I am concerned that if I sew the clothes together off the puppet, I will tear up or damage it putting them on.  I have a puppet that I need to put spandex on.  I am considering spray glue.  Do you think that will work?

The way I'd do that is I'd maybe smooth out the edges on the foam a bit more and than put a bunch of layers of liquid latex over that. To glue clothes together and on I use "Bostik All Purpose Adhesive", and I've read blogs where people use hot glue, but I'm not sure about spray glue, every time I've used spray glues for stuff, even sticking bits of paper together, it's been too weak and peeled off after a while. So you don't want your puppet undressing himself while you animate him, right?
I guess it'd also be pretty hard to apply it accurately, too.

Nice puppet Marc! How is the armature holding up?

Thank you! The armature's doing great so far, just playing with it, but I'm a while away from actually animating the thing just yet, so we'll see how that goes.
one concern is the wrists and fingers, which are wire, I'm not sure they'll last the whole length of the film so I might end up having to perform tiny surgery.
