Bear Wreath Tree Trim Instructions


Here's how to make it:

To make the bear's head, take the 2-1/2 inch tan pompom and in the center, separate the fur and glue in the 1 inch tan pompom. On top of the 1 inch tan pompom, glue in the 1/4 inch brown pompom in. This is the bear's nose.

Right above the nose, glue the 2) 1/8 inch black pompoms for the eyes. Now attach the 2) 1/4 inch tan pompoms separating the fur on the 2-1/2 inch pompom and glue them in for the ears. Attach the head on the top of the twig wreath.

Glue 2 each of the 1 inch tan pompom for the arms and legs, separating the fur when gluing together. Attach the arms and legs in place as shown in the picture. Now add to each arm and leg the 1/8 inch pink pompom to the last 1 inch tan pompom as palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Glue the arms and legs in place on the twig wreath.

Make a bow with long tails, glue to the neck and tack down the two tails to the bottom of the wreath with two spots of glue. Attach a loop of elastic string (silver is nice) to the back of the twig wreath thru one of the top branches. Enjoy !!

i'm gonna make two of them this weekend - too cute! My bears will have to be orange, though.... could'nt find a range of pom pom sizes in any other colour...also the head pompom will have to be a diy yarn one! I'm making my own wreaths too...since i've got vineyards at home.... will do some early pruning on them!!!

My plan is to make one or two special decorations each year until i have a whole tree full of memorable decorations!

Thanks for the cute idea.

I just think these are the cutest little ornaments and are such a pleasure to make. They're quick, easy and adorable. Everything you need to make this you can get from a dollar store, so it makes it an inexpensive craft idea as well!
