How to use
The felt puppet prompt turns you into a handmade stop-motion character, with visible stitching, wool felt and big round eyes, on a cosy set with red curtains. It works in NanoBanana, in Gemini and in ChatGPT.
1. Send a sharp photo of your face together with the JSON prompt, in the same message.
2. Keep the identity fields as they are so the puppet still looks like you.
3. Adjust the colours of the felt and of the clothing to your taste.
4. Change the set in the background if you want another mood.
5. Generate variations of the eyes and of the smile until the puppet has personality.
6. Save the version with the most visible stitching, which is what sells the handmade look.
Tip: the charm of the style is in the imperfection, so ask for irregular seams rather than a flawless finish.
