Craft Project Supplies:

• 1 - 2 inch pompom (tummy)
• 1 - 1 ½ inch pompom (head)
• 7 - 1 inch pompoms (hands, feet, tail)
• 2-1/8 inch pompoms (buttons)
• (pompom sizes will vary with different manufacturers, all sizes listed are approximate)
• Tacky Glue (hot glue for grown ups)
• ¼ inch Wide Scrap Ribbon
• Scissors

Craft Project Instructions:

Glue the 2 inch pompom and the 1 ½ inch pompom together (this forms the head and body). Trim away a little fluff from one side of both pompoms. The trimmed area will flatten the bears tummy and face.

Glue two 1 inch pompoms for arms, two more for legs and two more for ears (refer to the photo for placement).

Glue one 1 inch pompom to the back centre bottom of the two inch pompom, for a tail (this will help Teddy to sit up on his own). Glue two 1/8 inch pompoms on the tummy (you can use buttons or beads for this instead).

Tie a small bow and glue in place on the teddy's neck.

Optional: to add a face, simply glue or sew on a couple of beads or buttons for eyes nose and a mouth. You can also add a push pin or broach pin to the back of the teddy and use on your bulletin board or wear the cute little bear.
