How are Muppets made?

Question:

How are Muppets made?

I know this is an unusual question, but I don't think I could afford to buy a custom-made puppet (which I've heard costs well above $800) but I would like to see if I could make one. What would be needed and how would I go about doing it?

Additionally, if there is a cheap place to buy good quality, muppet-style puppets, I would surely like to see the site!

Thanks in advance for any answers!
