Change size of pattern

in How to Make a Foam Puppet - Part 2
Hello, I am trying to make hand puppets, I have made the small puppet provided, but I am wanting to increase the size of the head, I have tried increasing with photocopies, but then the felt and other parts never come out the same size, so the head is large but the cheeks are too small, the head is smaller than the felt, the body is too big or too small. Is there an easy way to enlarge the puppet patterns so they are uniform in size?

    You should be able to scale up the templates in software like Photoshop (or one of the many free alternatives).  The challenge is to scale everything uniformly.  In your case, I believe you would want to scale up all templates for the head, including all features of the head, but leave the body templates the same size.  Then you can print those out, but make sure the printer and print settings don't scale the prints at all.
