In most cases, there are support straws
and movement straws. We use Balloon Sticks,
but you can also use pieces of coathanger wire,
or the long straws for those
Giant Gulps from 7-11.
You can either punch a hole in the straw using
an awl or an icepick, or you can tape or wrap
a loop of string or bag tie at the points where
a brad needs to attach the stick to the puppet.
