Custom PuppetS
Swazzle builds custom puppets in every style: hand puppets, rod puppets, full-body puppets, glove puppets, marionettes and even finger puppets. Swazzle's puppets are built with performance in mind, using lightweight, durable materials that maximize movement possibilities. Swazzle can build puppets based on existing designs or collaborate with you to create a custom design.
