3. Now you need to make Yoda's tunic. Cut out a piece of tan or gray felt a little larger than the collar opening of the robe. Glue this to the back of the robe.

4. Glue the robe and tunic to Yoda's body. Turn Yoda over and glue the craft stick to his back. Leave part of the stick exposed on the bottom so you have a handle for the puppet. Finally, cut a small green square from the scrap felt for the nose and a small red triangle for the mouth. Glue these to Yoda's head along with the googly eyes to make his face!
