How to make it

1. Make the head and ears

Take one red pipe cleaner and make a small rounded loop for the head. Twist the ends together at the bottom. Shape two small loops at the top into bear ears.

2. Make the body

Take another red pipe cleaner and wind it around your finger or a pencil to form a short, thick coil. Fluff it out and attach it underneath the head

3. Add the arms

Cut or use one pipe cleaner for both arms. Bend it into a shallow U shape, then twist its middle around the body. Bend the two ends upward and round them to form the paws.

4. Add the legs

Use another red pipe cleaner. Make two short rounded loops at the bottom of the body for the legs/feet. Twist the centre into the lower body.

5. Make the muzzle

Take a small piece of red pipe cleaner and roll it into a little fluffy ball. Attach it to the front of the face.

6. Add the eyes and nose

Glue two black beads onto the face for the eyes and one black bead onto the muzzle for the nose.

7. Make the yellow bow 

Take a yellow pipe cleaner and:

Fold it into two loops.

Twist the centre together.

Leave two long ends hanging down.

Wrap the centre around the teddy's neck.

8. Shape your teddy

Gently bend the ears, arms and feet until it looks like the teddy as shown in  image.
