The video's creator converts a Kermit the Frog plush toy into a functional puppet. They begin by removing the vest and bow tie, then make an entrance hole in the bottom of the plush to access the inside. After removing the stuffing and plastic mouth plate, they glue the eyes back on and create a fabric tube to fill out the body and add some structure. The creator also separates the fingers and adds arm rods to make the puppet more functional. The result is a decent puppet, although the proportions are slightly off, and the creator notes that making a custom puppet from scratch would be a more time-consuming but ultimately better option.
