Wobbly neck for mini bears

To make a wobbly neck with fibreboard discs, you'll need a pair of cotter pins, 2 discs and a pair of long nose pliers (or cotter pin turner tool).



Start by inserting one of the legs of one the cotter pins through the eye of the other cotter pin



Place a disc on one of the cotter pins



With the help of the long nose pliers, grab one of the cotter pin's leg and turn it tight over the disc



Repeat for the other leg of the same cotter pin



Run a gathering stitch around the bear's head neck



Place the set of cotter pins and disc inside the neck, making sure the straight pin is protruding out of the neck



  Pull thread and close neck opening securely with a couple of knots.

 

  Insert straight cotter pin through the opening at the top of the body

 
 Place disc on the pin through the back opening of the body



Turn pins legs in the same manner as before



Make sure the neck is not too tight, if it is, then pull head apart from the body slightly and this will loosen the pins a little making the head a little wobblier

  7. Hello Monica,
    I have just begun to learn about bear making and I recently discovered your patterns and tutorials - I'm so pleased that I did!! I love the little bear that you're demonstrating on in this tutorial and I wondered if you could tell me if he is available in one of your patterns, and if so, which one? I would love to try making him - he's just adorable!!
    Thank you for your help :o)

  15. The issue of erectile dysfunction can be more complicated at times than we usually think. No men would want to suffer from erectile dysfunction. It not just affects them physically but also leaves a deep impact on the minds of the person. Thus it is very important for such men to take steps that will help them get a normal erection. Till today, in many parts of the world talking about erectile dysfunction is considered a taboo. However, it is very important to know that erectile dysfunction can occur in anyone and at any point in time. In many cases it is reversible therefore there is nothing much to worry about. One of the best ways to treat erectile dysfunction in men is by the use of Viagra 100mg. if you are constantly suffering from getting an erection. And even if you get one, it is difficult for you to maintain an erection, you can buy Viagra online.
