Belt-worn puppet harness parts
Two pieces that attach to the ends of a .4" garden stick (like the Vigoro Sturdy Stake, sold at Home Depot). The top one has three holes for hanging puppets or passing through some puppeting wires. The bottom one attaches it to a belt, especially a 1" nylon work belt. Here I used four pairs for a ridiculous marathon costume, pictured in a state of decay around mile 13.
