How to make recycled marker cap finger puppets

by

finger-puppet-1024x768 I just went through a whole stash of magic markers and found about half of them had dried up. The colors were so pretty I was wondering if there was some really cool project out there I could make with all the colored caps. So I went searching around. My caps are thin so this cool finger puppet project won’t work for me but I thought it was so cute I would share the link here. pop on over to the blog The Handmade Adventures of Captain Crafty for the tutorial on how to make recycled magic marker caps.
