Cute Miniature Halloween Bear
Cute Miniature Halloween Bear
These miniature bears make an ideal gift for children and adults
alike. The size of the bear which is 9 cm high when standing makes
it quite tricky to make but I’m sure you’ll agree the end results are
worth it.
You will need: card, fabric 20cm by 20cm, small amount of
stuffing, pins, needle and cotton, small beads (optional) embroidery
thread.
Start by tracing off the pattern pieces onto card.
You will need a piece of fabric either use Halloween printed fabric
or plain black or orange 20cm by 20cms
Fold fabric right sides together and trace around the pattern piece
then cut out.
For the head
Sew the darts at each side of the head, then with right sides together
pin making sure you line up the darts, then sew in back stitch around
the head leaving neck end open. Turn right way and stuff the head
firmly. Now use a running stitch and stitch all the way around the
neck opening. Pull the stitch tight to close the opening and fasten off.
Next with right sides together, stitch around the ears, leaving
the bottom of the ears open, turn right way. Over sew opening
and attach ears to the sides of the head in a position that suits
your bear. For the eyes you can either use a tiny bead or if the
bear is going to be for a younger child you can embroider or
use a French knot. Position the eyes. For the nose and mouth
use a single thread of embroidery thread and embroider the
nose, mouth and eyebrows.
