from picture to puppet
If you can dream it, we can make it!
Unique Custom Puppets, Toys, Sculptures & Mascots
Handmade in Edinburgh by Artisans
Just send us a picture or a description, and within weeks Picture to Puppet can bring your character to life. Whether it’s a gigantic soft sculpture for your commercial installation or a tiny custom toy that can sit in the palm of your hand — if you can dream it, we can make it.
We make bespoke puppets, custom toys, soft sculptures, mascot costumes, jack in the boxes, 3D models and more.
Our one-of-a-kind creations are designed and handmade by our team of skilled artisans in our Edinburgh Workshop.

From Concept to Completion
We can handle your project all the way from your inital idea through design drawings and sampling to prototyping and production.
Whether you have a detailed specification or a broad brief, we have the technical expertise and creative vision to bring your character to life.
From Minute to Mighty
From recreating a childhood toy that fits in the palm of your hand to a gigantic commercial installation, no job is too big or small!
The scale of our work ranges from tiny finger puppets to huge soft sculptures and custom mascot costumes.
Our professional puppet makers have an in-depth knowledge of the art of puppetry, having worked with a plethora of performers, and developed puppet designs for a huge range of contexts, from film sets to intimate in-person performances.
From 1-50
We make custom soft toys with no minimum order quantity – you can order a single one.
After that, we can produce orders of up to 50 custom toys, or you can buy the design rights and get a bulk order of soft toys made elsewhere. We can also produce a production pattern suitable for factory use.
From Edinburgh to Everywhere
We make everything by hand in our Edinburgh workshop, and we ship them all over the world.
The expertise of Picture to Puppet’s team spans from textiles and foam to latex, plastics and 3D printing. We also specialise in custom printed fabrics, both hand and digital.
From the Sublime to the Ridiculous
If you have a strange request, we will almost certainly have made stranger things in our time – nothing surprises us any more!
