Sometimes I feel like my reckless soul takes me down a path where my strings are tangled, crossed and knotted. I, my sins, created my own restraints. I'm a fugitive -and then He saves me. I think it goes something like this:
Step one: Determine the length of each broken puppet string. If you have the original packaging, it will probably tell you, but if not, you will need to measure with a ruler. Examine the puppet strings to determine the type of material used. Marionette strings can be composed of any number of materials: strong thread, fishing line or even specialized puppet strings. Again, if you have the original packaging, it should be able to tell you about the materials in detail. Otherwise, you will need to guesstimate.
Pretty accurate-painful, truth is sometimes it’s easier just to stay a jumbled mess. But, if you look at our original packaging the illustration shows me to be something very different than I am at this moment. So, I look at all my mess, and evaluate each disaster, each sin. Measure with a ruler..ouch. What I am made of? Oh…at this point Lord are you having to guesstimate?
Step Two: Check to see how the strings are attached to the puppet and to the wooden cross which manipulates it. Note exactly how and where they are attached, and note any knots which hold them in place. Untie the puppet strings you need to repair from the wooden cross.
I may be a jumbled mess—but this I know my stings are attached to that wooden cross. Thank you Lord for that Old Wooden cross-thank you for Loving this Marionette puppet, thank you for your gentle hands and great patience. I may appear to be small and insignificant to some, but when You take hold of the wooden cross, I am capable of taking steps and moving around-to give you glory.
Step Three: Purchase replacement strings of the material and color that match the damaged strings. Measure and cut the length of the replacement strings to match the damaged strings. Re-string the new strings, starting with the puppet itself and then connecting the strings to the wooden cross. Endeavor to tie the knots, connect the bolts or sew the seal as much like the original configuration as possible
He purchased me. He restrung me. He measured and cut and repaired. I am restored to the original configuration.
TIPS and WARNINGS:
A wooden stand for your marionette can prevent the strings from tangling and save you the need to repair them again in the future.
But mine packaging states: My savior died on a wooden cross-to save this Marionette He knew how tangled and messy I would be-but He still saved me. .
