This is a very good tutorial to add some wonderful sparkling colours to some boring clear glass eyes for your teddy bear... :)<br />
<br />
The materials you will need are:<br />
<ul>
<li>A pair of clear glass eyes of your choice</li>
<li>Glittery or shimmer nail polish in the colour of your choice (I've used blue shimmer)</li>
<li>Gold or silver acrylic paint (I've used gold)</li>
<li>Black acrylic paint</li>
<li>Some 'Blue Tack' or some plasticine (to hold the eyes to the surface you'll be working on)</li>
<li>A fine liner brush and a flat brush</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

You can paint clear glass eyes with any colour nail polish you wish, but you can also substitute the colour nail polish by painting the eyes with some white PVA glue, letting it dry and then brush some iridescent eye shadow powder over the dry PVA. Then protect the colour with some clear nail polish.</div>

you have your teddy cut, sewn and stuffed, and of course, you have also joined
the head to the body with a couple of discs and cotter pin(s); you can start
joining the limbs to the body.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To do this you’ll need a fairly long
piece of upholstery thread, a doll needle (long enough to go from one side to
the other of the body), and a few pins to mark where the limbs will be attached
to the body.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

needle and a nice knot, insert needle at the side of the body where one of the
legs will be sewn to. Make a knot to secure the thread.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt;">To
make little Peanut you’ll need some Sculpey III modelling clay (or any other
polymer clay of your choice)</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> in caramel, white and black colours…
and maybe a little pink. You’ll also need a sharp knife with a pointy edge, a
metal or bamboo skewer and a thin brush with a round wooden top. This clay sets
hard once baked in a household oven at low temperature (check instructions on
the packet for directions on how to bake it).</span></div>

clay. Wrap the left over in a seal tight container or re-sealable bag. (This
will keep the clay from drying and going brittle). Knead the two colours of clay
till mixed and soft</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In this tutorial you'll learn how to achieve those wonderful sculpted feet you've always wanted to give your little furry friend... :0)))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, you'll have to start with a foot pad that has a wide toe area, otherwise the foot will end up quite narrow at the toes and wide at the ankle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stuff only the foot (not the leg), and not too full, otherwise you won't be able to sculpt it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always better to do the sculpting before attaching the legs to the body. You can always add more stuffing to the foot (if you need to) after the sculpting is done. Then you can attach the legs to the body and continue to stuff the rest of the legs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my creations have 4 toes, and I use pins to mark where the needle will be inserted or exit from. There are 3 pins on the foot pad, another 3 at the front seam where the leg joins the foot pad...</div>

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCmJRTUFV0NxMSehKyK_qQeujhyphenhyphenSK2ZxKces0yh-Y4rBnlN3G8gt6Kjbk_P5usCVvZ_rc5bAg5YElm_uihuaJJ8Cd4RWIhfwa3aixi4aYI0l0o36fj56Dwc2chTigXqwXI_lNBu6heiSZ/s1600/1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCmJRTUFV0NxMSehKyK_qQeujhyphenhyphenSK2ZxKces0yh-Y4rBnlN3G8gt6Kjbk_P5usCVvZ_rc5bAg5YElm_uihuaJJ8Cd4RWIhfwa3aixi4aYI0l0o36fj56Dwc2chTigXqwXI_lNBu6heiSZ/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Start by inserting one of the legs of one the cotter pins through the eye of the other cotter pin<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDm5Gs2paAN5dCA80EGqtEhJgmNy9pK9wbYXuf6v9aC81rMZ3OfKyO7bv4UZYCcCd6JjnJ6VGBYJ-sG1JDgf08n7v50VotowEVlZ-Vi673dTqS-HbDWcIaH9_z1nqVWaGo4J9Yuw1cMV3B/s1600/2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDm5Gs2paAN5dCA80EGqtEhJgmNy9pK9wbYXuf6v9aC81rMZ3OfKyO7bv4UZYCcCd6JjnJ6VGBYJ-sG1JDgf08n7v50VotowEVlZ-Vi673dTqS-HbDWcIaH9_z1nqVWaGo4J9Yuw1cMV3B/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Place a disc on one of the cotter pins<br />
<br />

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

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<br />

<br />
Well, here are some helpful hints. It’s so rewarding to end up with a perfect embroidered nose after spending so much time giving our bear the look we’ve tried to achieve… but unfortunately that doesn’t happen very often, so to cover up some minor unevenness on our bear’s nose we can use the waxing method below.<br />
<br />
This is Romeo before his waxed nose:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIx9dLXYaWTAqaT7BylfN3Ci1Rdf8nokibT7lU67l2DQHQQUmfEk0Z7vc0Cg2zRF-9dkHctgKrf9DbQCFnUwQUGWLpa7NFX-zuwwWJsiSYY2oS8FS9hs-Z-WEhxr1cQ54QfEGm9-22SwfO/s1600/1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIx9dLXYaWTAqaT7BylfN3Ci1Rdf8nokibT7lU67l2DQHQQUmfEk0Z7vc0Cg2zRF-9dkHctgKrf9DbQCFnUwQUGWLpa7NFX-zuwwWJsiSYY2oS8FS9hs-Z-WEhxr1cQ54QfEGm9-22SwfO/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Place some sticky tape around the bear’s nose, very close to the edge of the embroidered nose.<br />
<br />
Fill an empty glass jar (jam, preserves), with very hot water (only 3/4 full). Place the lid on the jar and close it tight<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHFFMXJ0VKN88asFIrfJNrW2drBRB1RAtFkVV8q3vcl2ffrqdys0y_7DN16eJ-p_E1FFErzyuuUTXxkjAfG7g5HpJ8LRNoNh3eTnPRdK9yN1WXb4qW749TQV5gKcLsSjrdszvX-XiiPDoX/s1600/2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHFFMXJ0VKN88asFIrfJNrW2drBRB1RAtFkVV8q3vcl2ffrqdys0y_7DN16eJ-p_E1FFErzyuuUTXxkjAfG7g5HpJ8LRNoNh3eTnPRdK9yN1WXb4qW749TQV5gKcLsSjrdszvX-XiiPDoX/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Get some wax and rub it on the side of the jar until you have melted a decent amount of wax to place on the bear’s nose.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTJIWLsWhEzXX9mnFeFAVGfbOMLjx_KCVDNKP9gjX0ZW_MBt9JMN3p_q9dRqOGoJkN8u7cU4KiCq5QkjWcktRQAenQeHS6LK8hfBhK4KFyOJkjpNi_6aGyWFzxTT57vIdUqub078XATlf/s1600/3.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeTJIWLsWhEzXX9mnFeFAVGfbOMLjx_KCVDNKP9gjX0ZW_MBt9JMN3p_q9dRqOGoJkN8u7cU4KiCq5QkjWcktRQAenQeHS6LK8hfBhK4KFyOJkjpNi_6aGyWFzxTT57vIdUqub078XATlf/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Holding the jar by the top (lid) with a cloth or towel, (so you don’t burn your hand), bring the nose close to the jar and rub the bear’s nose on the melted wax<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLZ5wVpkq39wOQ2N0rTVkhUUhlW5Brhm9eTjEIMKf3YwmYn0iDD07fuF9TlMy67il-j1DCQDn54Kjry3z1WxxExNH9HmY7TGLrNozyvbMbP0hTBPNZKiWjZpMUouy9vMf-e5Gc7b6BptZ/s1600/4.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLZ5wVpkq39wOQ2N0rTVkhUUhlW5Brhm9eTjEIMKf3YwmYn0iDD07fuF9TlMy67il-j1DCQDn54Kjry3z1WxxExNH9HmY7TGLrNozyvbMbP0hTBPNZKiWjZpMUouy9vMf-e5Gc7b6BptZ/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Fill all unevenness of the nose’s threads, and don’t be afraid to add more wax as needed<br />
<br />
If you make a boo-boo, or want to correct areas that need more wax, keep rubbing the nose against the hot jar. This will keep re-melting those areas and relocating the wax where needed.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_aj4NAV7r2gGJqQOkskcx1EYJW_Dtf8G62PoB0KE6EUIobaiL4W1XVZIU9rRzU60FlwZRRWhG_tUZ6LoNdIezrMwiX52lhcufHLQ2t2blESY1iDxvlwMRnOR9NGPosWW5qMsIaN-KucYB/s1600/5.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_aj4NAV7r2gGJqQOkskcx1EYJW_Dtf8G62PoB0KE6EUIobaiL4W1XVZIU9rRzU60FlwZRRWhG_tUZ6LoNdIezrMwiX52lhcufHLQ2t2blESY1iDxvlwMRnOR9NGPosWW5qMsIaN-KucYB/s320/5.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Finally, after the wax has cooled down, get some computer or photocopying paper and rub the nose with it till it shines<br />
<br />

<br />
Peel off all sticky tape from around the nose.<br />
Voilà! You’ve got yourself a waxed nose..! Yeah!!<br />

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqCPdRdZM69cAbIWoqUST1QO9giV5p2s1e_NOOn8s_7I7t-RvJRp3AS-Qcg_IP8QueFTPHQEESeV_MhL_ozX4aMKlAg283PQpJcQboZkAjowkpzLAnIzgVLMcBDss3BjWLsTOYV5zH4Ph/s1600/trimming+muzzle+1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqCPdRdZM69cAbIWoqUST1QO9giV5p2s1e_NOOn8s_7I7t-RvJRp3AS-Qcg_IP8QueFTPHQEESeV_MhL_ozX4aMKlAg283PQpJcQboZkAjowkpzLAnIzgVLMcBDss3BjWLsTOYV5zH4Ph/s320/trimming+muzzle+1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Before you start sewing your bear's head together, simplify your task ahead by trimming all the fur from the front part of the head gusset, right up to where the eyes will be placed on either side of the head gusset<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohGgVGK8lVWloAoOsG_ToU820OxCeQB0H-la3nZQAJCPKmlcYQ5hqCCehsl7hUlGRNZyyns-cMh_meXo-31raSZbuaLQbuHw_6dO1f8GcAlSq161udTG33jnYsj1uSrAW9aZC3xDAQAZj/s1600/trimming+muzzle+2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohGgVGK8lVWloAoOsG_ToU820OxCeQB0H-la3nZQAJCPKmlcYQ5hqCCehsl7hUlGRNZyyns-cMh_meXo-31raSZbuaLQbuHw_6dO1f8GcAlSq161udTG33jnYsj1uSrAW9aZC3xDAQAZj/s320/trimming+muzzle+2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like this.<br />

<br />
Then you can proceed to pin and sew the head gusset to the head sides.<br />
<br />

<br />
You'll find that this step will make it easier for you to sew the pieces together.<br />
Finish sewing the head, turn right side out and stuff nice and firm. This is how your bear's head should look so far<br />

Following the 2 photos below, trim fur from the chin area in a straight line, just like an upside down 'crew cut'<br />

<br />
Next, trim all fur around the area where the nose will be embroidered (having a wool felt template of the nose will help you see how much to trim off. Also trim a very narrow area around the seam line at the front, where the septum and mouth will be embroidered as well.<br />

Next (if the bear you're making has dense fur), trim a very narrow line from the neck area towards where the eyes will be placed. this will define the cheeks area much more. Omit this step if you're making your bear out of sparse mohair<br />

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Pinning the ears to the head</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
Using a couple of pins, attach each ear to the sides of the head.<br />
<br />
The straight edge of the ear (which you've just overstitched together), should be pinned below an imaginary horizontal line which is usually below where the nose will be.<br />
<br />

Always check for symmetry between the 2 halves of the head by using the middle seam as a guide<br />

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Sewing the ears to the head</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
Using a long needle and double upholstery thread, start by inserting the needle inside the neck (if the head is too big, you can start underneath the ear), and come out in front of the straight edge of the ear<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNZ2f2X69aupDEtRGnFDZ_j9BocTgfgLsO5OAJgH4t5R9uYfkNex4Ao-Zir9WDiPdYYwCrabZ1bJTB6BXo_rsLkso1Hq1jBiM1sc_hZdBr_jAe3YIfzwzqBmadnDeqnbmezJzL9re8JDN/s1600/8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNZ2f2X69aupDEtRGnFDZ_j9BocTgfgLsO5OAJgH4t5R9uYfkNex4Ao-Zir9WDiPdYYwCrabZ1bJTB6BXo_rsLkso1Hq1jBiM1sc_hZdBr_jAe3YIfzwzqBmadnDeqnbmezJzL9re8JDN/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now, start sewing the ear to the head with ladder stitch, going towards the back and only picking the outside layer of the ear<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh11V00e9nCxgELJXk1TEcDQihMv06rY4JYBnr9ZUBgh5lOfzo_zjtycggAAPZxlJqqlIQ4pdxDgoeemMnyxcKXy6-J2c9Lxxuy-v_H9_pTt-MqNLFdJ8f9SV2tAQEMH6THG7zpksrfsdX_/s1600/9.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh11V00e9nCxgELJXk1TEcDQihMv06rY4JYBnr9ZUBgh5lOfzo_zjtycggAAPZxlJqqlIQ4pdxDgoeemMnyxcKXy6-J2c9Lxxuy-v_H9_pTt-MqNLFdJ8f9SV2tAQEMH6THG7zpksrfsdX_/s320/9.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
When you've reached the end of the straight edge, pull threads. The ear should automatically lift.<br />
Now make a long stitch from the back of the ear to the middle part of the head where the ear will lay later on.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW9nCx-gfb4i2KW_oG1-ZolPr6eewd9kIoBN4kiA2IEFXwPMaCpWiA7atLHL_6KuMHqTFy7qC1tQr9ruro7yC3U8A_198OY5JBbDvd4-W4yIn0fwg_wWCrDtrLgaSZJ_C1vyKPVmICNC2/s1600/10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW9nCx-gfb4i2KW_oG1-ZolPr6eewd9kIoBN4kiA2IEFXwPMaCpWiA7atLHL_6KuMHqTFy7qC1tQr9ruro7yC3U8A_198OY5JBbDvd4-W4yIn0fwg_wWCrDtrLgaSZJ_C1vyKPVmICNC2/s320/10.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now, make a small running stitch right below the ear<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJOXJz3LQEpF6rLCvyXf-W6HfTa_p0HkRbe3F5a-Hm9Rir436M2AMAd_UrpBlt0fW5mFfaPpGvJB83x8299tZFc-YHu_YdkhQsfpVDsXPU9lkfTO2AZTc_ZSImNF6krlJhHTfdiTGlJD2/s1600/11.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJOXJz3LQEpF6rLCvyXf-W6HfTa_p0HkRbe3F5a-Hm9Rir436M2AMAd_UrpBlt0fW5mFfaPpGvJB83x8299tZFc-YHu_YdkhQsfpVDsXPU9lkfTO2AZTc_ZSImNF6krlJhHTfdiTGlJD2/s320/11.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Before pulling the thread, make another stitch starting close to the last stitch you did on the head and come out towards the front of where the ear should lay<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47x0SECsoBF5oz-J68enUX1OCyVfrQAhda-S3PBgYf3SgsmmUHe2caZfM_y9bL2RjWqvHGm0bAMEz8D4aA8N9z5Wy4Uux_QklBwQzRcpW-en6Z5z261AHhYL6HrSZFl5HlrtARBhvOtSj/s1600/12.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47x0SECsoBF5oz-J68enUX1OCyVfrQAhda-S3PBgYf3SgsmmUHe2caZfM_y9bL2RjWqvHGm0bAMEz8D4aA8N9z5Wy4Uux_QklBwQzRcpW-en6Z5z261AHhYL6HrSZFl5HlrtARBhvOtSj/s320/12.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Pull thread. This will make the ear to lay flat against the head<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbO-ckN9AEEtg4bA9m0HrvL8AgaXVeasZrN9onfkn2dVAsxYBI5Ayx04jJIXkVBy58O2Na7elvM1vRkVjiLz1tOjob0_t3WjEkhqx_OhTXMif1aLfiQ0UnSNHRqEoUyMEEljeEdQpNUnZ/s1600/13.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFbO-ckN9AEEtg4bA9m0HrvL8AgaXVeasZrN9onfkn2dVAsxYBI5Ayx04jJIXkVBy58O2Na7elvM1vRkVjiLz1tOjob0_t3WjEkhqx_OhTXMif1aLfiQ0UnSNHRqEoUyMEEljeEdQpNUnZ/s320/13.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now, to make that ear open a little more and to make sure it's really attached securely to the head, insert the needle on the edge of the ear (as shown below), and into the head<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_TfCD459su3wpK9Rc9gh1KAi5eeKg7gTjc_BFPUVRLcifpJpmFXPbrALyR1sa9y5127TG_p4MwOPlDffTskJz0K0_itQQG5egSALje2xITSgOm3lrI4r9s2GYAF-NF3DKkYKKTO_yPXb/s1600/14.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_TfCD459su3wpK9Rc9gh1KAi5eeKg7gTjc_BFPUVRLcifpJpmFXPbrALyR1sa9y5127TG_p4MwOPlDffTskJz0K0_itQQG5egSALje2xITSgOm3lrI4r9s2GYAF-NF3DKkYKKTO_yPXb/s320/14.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
… coming out at the back straight edge of the ear.<br />
<br />
Make a couple of knots, insert needle close to where the knots are and come out from inside the neck. Cut threads off<br />
<br />

<br />
With right sides together, pin and sew fur to mini fur pieces around the curve sides<br />
<br />

<br />
Turn right side out and brush all fur around the seam<br />
<br />

<br />
Place a very small amount of polyester filling inside the 'lower jaw'<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1F6uKckBD4s1IxWfpHNID1LNgjssEQCy9EfucQZeJifEvmxW1Vxc1Vexqn9XkZr1_hPCyI3c02T_i1RlAOxUbj5_CKlF9ZjNf8JmCF_VDbGaleod9WYUiiPEuSIQ4aNTHBW-NmdRmvtR/s1600/4.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1F6uKckBD4s1IxWfpHNID1LNgjssEQCy9EfucQZeJifEvmxW1Vxc1Vexqn9XkZr1_hPCyI3c02T_i1RlAOxUbj5_CKlF9ZjNf8JmCF_VDbGaleod9WYUiiPEuSIQ4aNTHBW-NmdRmvtR/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Zigzag or whip stitch it close, and with long stitches sculpt the middle part of this jaw (this will give the impression of a tongue within the mouth). Trim excess fur around the curve edge.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk7JbnwDrXdusUzJuVqohMg8XuE90feU-0jeXBrVS0tYrlbxlMIxoU60FB-Qx12_0DhLeBEiJOWoNGskHmAgvQDmZLX5NcseMynZ9R_S3MLYfqoAqbAysg_THYFsewYpxWjCKvsEu1Vrs/s1600/6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk7JbnwDrXdusUzJuVqohMg8XuE90feU-0jeXBrVS0tYrlbxlMIxoU60FB-Qx12_0DhLeBEiJOWoNGskHmAgvQDmZLX5NcseMynZ9R_S3MLYfqoAqbAysg_THYFsewYpxWjCKvsEu1Vrs/s320/6.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
With the fine point of a dark Copic marker, paint a fine line on the curved edge of the jaw (this will be the lip). Set aside<br />
<br />

<br />
With a pair of sharp scissors trim the fur from the bottom part of the chin (as close as you can)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAN1VrA5AdduOIIMNCWC27rHHOz_YUM_gCbwGT4h64dKtv4DaKWR3r44-n4w_-AfQ-BB7ltwUwRd8ndZ2qnkriXerPCZk5BZAQqfWB7Ng7ELszf110YE3kYoepyRpqVJkyoILwRgdjhgu/s1600/8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAN1VrA5AdduOIIMNCWC27rHHOz_YUM_gCbwGT4h64dKtv4DaKWR3r44-n4w_-AfQ-BB7ltwUwRd8ndZ2qnkriXerPCZk5BZAQqfWB7Ng7ELszf110YE3kYoepyRpqVJkyoILwRgdjhgu/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This is what it looks like after it's been trimmed<br />
<br />

<br />
Pin the lower jaw piece to the head, covering the area you've just trimmed<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDnmFYzi_ooLxb70RatIeIrXUDzuS0G3IimNjnYjF5UMDAPfFOdiOZuIsE0MdoU7C9yvqKzgXfQOBbl-6DdG5OJUlMVkMcUEoCeAOxqSi_hsbkz61m0HjXhz-1U470uzo7Y6DXG12e_wN/s1600/11.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFDnmFYzi_ooLxb70RatIeIrXUDzuS0G3IimNjnYjF5UMDAPfFOdiOZuIsE0MdoU7C9yvqKzgXfQOBbl-6DdG5OJUlMVkMcUEoCeAOxqSi_hsbkz61m0HjXhz-1U470uzo7Y6DXG12e_wN/s320/11.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Follow the photo and diagram below to see how and where to place it. This is very important, because if the jaw is placed too far forward, the bear will look like it has an over bite; and if it's placed to far back, you won't be able to see it.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPDAYRr7G6AHUT9LIzEfmQM_-20blXco4GmtRiwTzb7YdG3rsE3RLNqSM3f8tMIOurLAQsqoJkgZjfZDjGjzDMxXOP9Q2NRHnZoqxQEbTPmTtu-ca7OuvIucdTZmvtVuWDH3-SmNiGIBD_/s1600/12.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPDAYRr7G6AHUT9LIzEfmQM_-20blXco4GmtRiwTzb7YdG3rsE3RLNqSM3f8tMIOurLAQsqoJkgZjfZDjGjzDMxXOP9Q2NRHnZoqxQEbTPmTtu-ca7OuvIucdTZmvtVuWDH3-SmNiGIBD_/s320/12.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Once you're happy with that look, take the lower jaw piece off but leave the pins in place<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyzKnkQC8SzFKPdxl9-MAWItHPg8lvxQyw0eoJ72mnEtpJ7tWg8Y-VJiM_KPyWQDtMNhdu0zS5c2mM4FetF7lFWisp9tich2uHxQCr_wr4_uCootpKXhgTVlu8Y2KcbMXHfyLON76RU6e/s1600/13.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyzKnkQC8SzFKPdxl9-MAWItHPg8lvxQyw0eoJ72mnEtpJ7tWg8Y-VJiM_KPyWQDtMNhdu0zS5c2mM4FetF7lFWisp9tich2uHxQCr_wr4_uCootpKXhgTVlu8Y2KcbMXHfyLON76RU6e/s320/13.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The pins will give you an idea of where to paint the palate (or roof the mouth). Following the photo and diagram below, paint an area only as big as the jaw piece you've made. Always use a very dark brown or black Copic marker to do this. Try to make it as dark as possible<br />
<br />

<br />
Using a long darner and double upholstery thread to mach fur colour, start by inserting the needle inside the neck and exit at the back centre of the shaded area<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuGt94mtc3phK0fHfRmmE1_TCrTDrdsR7FHWlhn03cFQBv2FceHqrDkOxy5HbDXnH1cqsct-_wz14EWQpxcCqh2R3lluZsYdoESjHCruAeuwZpnRcWYHlsq446f2WYjSA10QbVEDtdbFY/s1600/15.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuGt94mtc3phK0fHfRmmE1_TCrTDrdsR7FHWlhn03cFQBv2FceHqrDkOxy5HbDXnH1cqsct-_wz14EWQpxcCqh2R3lluZsYdoESjHCruAeuwZpnRcWYHlsq446f2WYjSA10QbVEDtdbFY/s320/15.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Insert the needle 1cm in front of the last stitch (along the seam), and exit next to the inside corner of the eye. Pull tightly. You should be able to lift the upper palate slightly.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><u>Important Note</u>: If you find that the eye area caves in more than you can lift the palate, try this tip: As you pull up the stitch in the upper palate, push up against the stitch with your finger, holding it in place as you re-enter the bears head next to the eye for your next stitch, you’ll get a better lift on the palate, and less pucker on the eye area.</strong><br />
Insert the needle almost next to where your last stitch is, and exit at the end of the last stitch on the palate<br />
<br />

<br />
Again, insert the needle about 1 cm towards the front of the head, along the seam, and exit next to the inside corner of the other eye. Pull tightly to lift the palate<br />
<br />

The last stitch should be where you started (at the back of the shaded area). Make a knot or two to finish off. If you can see the stitches, paint them with your dark Copic marker to make them disappear<br />
<br />

Using the same upholstery thread and long darner, ladder stitch the lower jaw to the head (only a couple of stitches on either side will do).<br />

<br />
To go from one side to the other of the jaw, insert needle from the side you're working on and exit at the back of the jaw. Then insert needle next to the last stitch and exit on the other side. (If you try to go directly across from one side to the other of the jaw, you'll be able to see the stitch on the roof of the mouth - and that's one thing you don't want!!).<br />

You can leave it as is, or you can give a big grin to your bear by pulling the jaw (with the help of a pin) toward the neck. This will make the mouth open.<br />

Embroider the nose of your bear (refer to my 'Nose Embroidery Tutorial'- steps 1 to 10). Then, once that's accomplished, the last stitch should be done by inserting the needle at the bottom right hand corner of the bear's nose, exiting at the place where the mouth palate starts, along the centre front seam<br />

<br />
If you're not sure what shape or how big it should be, place the drawn, uncut felt nose template close to the bear's muzzle and try it for size. Once you're happy with it, cut it a little bigger, as there's always time to size it down<br />
<br />

<br />
Clipped the area where the nose template is to be stuck, and then stick the nose template onto it. <br />

Make sure you have 2 strands of equal length, (this will make your embroidery much quicker). Don't make a knot at the end. <br />
<br />

<br />
Start by turning your bear's head upside down, and inserting the needle into the muzzle, underneath the nose template, exiting at the left top hand corner of the bear's nose<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAaFAHUzoNpUioQlLlUPahCmL1SUxmjBxK90pwLQDUBLAigo0d80iqm6xVVZEN5tEwTU_ExnvjpyIUtGIGDyfSBmm3p5WMiDpVedGJtR7Z9-tnMg4AVFrBw62rvqIpS__Wn8rgH-B2u4t/s1600/6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAaFAHUzoNpUioQlLlUPahCmL1SUxmjBxK90pwLQDUBLAigo0d80iqm6xVVZEN5tEwTU_ExnvjpyIUtGIGDyfSBmm3p5WMiDpVedGJtR7Z9-tnMg4AVFrBw62rvqIpS__Wn8rgH-B2u4t/s320/6.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Pull the perle cotton through, leaving about 1 inch/2cm of the 2 threads out, where you started.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3j0jHq9FsEQNy-e7SnT4u5cJMn6TsA4pg8prmHCyKxvZb2-9gJwoj50ekg-paS6JM38OuuVtyv16QQpcnvSAPiSbkS4yw1nQtZRo4Dk6VPZmxJV5YVjvUuFflijK4iLleZOlXZm8C1Kn/s1600/7.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3j0jHq9FsEQNy-e7SnT4u5cJMn6TsA4pg8prmHCyKxvZb2-9gJwoj50ekg-paS6JM38OuuVtyv16QQpcnvSAPiSbkS4yw1nQtZRo4Dk6VPZmxJV5YVjvUuFflijK4iLleZOlXZm8C1Kn/s320/7.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<strong><u>Important Note</u>: keep the strands parallel to each other, that is, they shouldn't twist. Aside from this, you should pull the threads with an even tension. This will ensure a nice and even nose.</strong><br />
While holding the cotton threads between your index and middle fingers on your left hand, insert the needle at the bottom left hand corner of the bear's nose, working towards your right, coming next to the last stitch. See how far below the template I insert the needle<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQ9_x6OPoStvyu7A1-xmWn_C3uwyB0M2GwOegUWp4IbS1tBgniVMLPgPmxq7-6SoNENe_BsMiJBDeiLdRgTjlAiwW0ISmIZZJGZcW4O1Xrkxiqx_bWSJXdObkbYcF80qxQgKi8nlAfd_1/s1600/8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAQ9_x6OPoStvyu7A1-xmWn_C3uwyB0M2GwOegUWp4IbS1tBgniVMLPgPmxq7-6SoNENe_BsMiJBDeiLdRgTjlAiwW0ISmIZZJGZcW4O1Xrkxiqx_bWSJXdObkbYcF80qxQgKi8nlAfd_1/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
... and also where the needle comes out. I do this because if I would stick to the template's edge I would end up with a very squashed and sausage looking nose. Don't worry, your bear's nose will end up the same size as your template if you follow these instructions. Trust me!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkOs6bmb-jd7jMxqAl4KCu5TIcen96yK1AZVgzn81zLHrESl2Q_3kgwusJDEe9KtfferzBOt53v5KKa9O2kEVOquKQ1E3kIxFyCd3ZQhdhN-HzOrD6_K9mW6Vyai1d_xyFQGn2kEQBJJz5/s1600/9.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkOs6bmb-jd7jMxqAl4KCu5TIcen96yK1AZVgzn81zLHrESl2Q_3kgwusJDEe9KtfferzBOt53v5KKa9O2kEVOquKQ1E3kIxFyCd3ZQhdhN-HzOrD6_K9mW6Vyai1d_xyFQGn2kEQBJJz5/s320/9.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Half way through the nose embroider, turn the head the right way up and see how it's turning out. This will give you a better perspective of what you have done so far<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JKxPi6bcnzcFIC8meuC0oSeieH0R6ydcTk1iUsm68VN4OjW_WXAULVKseBMkLVOogoTMqjV5Izx50-PBfonND4qe_FVkuUPJqqHvAtcBvVPCqCcQbJn5csWh34zdF72TvQBpW5MkK7XZ/s1600/10.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JKxPi6bcnzcFIC8meuC0oSeieH0R6ydcTk1iUsm68VN4OjW_WXAULVKseBMkLVOogoTMqjV5Izx50-PBfonND4qe_FVkuUPJqqHvAtcBvVPCqCcQbJn5csWh34zdF72TvQBpW5MkK7XZ/s320/10.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Happy with the results, turn head upside down again and continue embroidering till you reach the other end of the nose.<br />
<br />
Once that's accomplished, the last stitch should be done by inserting the needle at the bottom right hand corner of the bear's nose, exiting at the place where you want the mouth to start, along the centre front seam<br />
<br />

<br />
Separate the 2 strands of cotton and cut one of them off, very close to the muzzle<br />
<br />

<br />
Pull the reminding thread slightly, as you'll be working with a single thread from now on. <br />
<br />

<br />
Insert the needle right underneath the nose, where it meets the centre seam, and exit where you want one of the corners of the bear's mouth to end<br />
<br />

<br />
Pull tight as this will give your bear a bit of a chin. While holding the thread tight with one hand, insert needle back in the same spot, at the bottom of the centre seam stitch, and exit at the top right hand corner of your bear's nose<br />
<br />

While holding the thread tight with one hand, insert needle in the other corner of your bear's nose, and exit at the bottom right hand corner of your bear's nose. Again, pull tight. (this will disguise any imperfections your nose might have from any uneven stitches you might have done).<br />

<br />
To make a template: (If you want to add eyelids to an existing bear), as a rule, measure the eye you'll be covering from side to side (this is the diameter of the eye). Then make a template from cardboard that looks like a semi-circle. The straight edge should be double the diameter of the eye, and the height should be the diameter of the eye.

<br />
I use self adhesive eyelashes that are longer than the eyes on the bear (sometimes double the length, as I can get 2 sets out of 1).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsULV9YgFTkfp-fqdyF06eW35VUBqY8nCJvvEOVenXvwEdES8yPO4VIfov_-H0e3-3ib2bAat9NlTxKSDIYWj0urYRTfJWrhwsr4k0AmaCrIUacimiAzk0JcC3I62o9W3q8WHo1BY551li/s1600/4.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsULV9YgFTkfp-fqdyF06eW35VUBqY8nCJvvEOVenXvwEdES8yPO4VIfov_-H0e3-3ib2bAat9NlTxKSDIYWj0urYRTfJWrhwsr4k0AmaCrIUacimiAzk0JcC3I62o9W3q8WHo1BY551li/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Cut one of the eyelashes in half (or the length of the diameter of the eye of your bear). <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6eD6IkMbvT6RyhnyN3Ssn4-kFm4oCxUELToZAm860rM704pSo2dQCxN4OMAmzwxMk5gvSGP8biaeyAVUtgsYMr6m6H5A677e0RmK9Vo7u8cM0m9U77UYtIq0PMAzBap0Ysz6PYREZU3DD/s1600/5.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6eD6IkMbvT6RyhnyN3Ssn4-kFm4oCxUELToZAm860rM704pSo2dQCxN4OMAmzwxMk5gvSGP8biaeyAVUtgsYMr6m6H5A677e0RmK9Vo7u8cM0m9U77UYtIq0PMAzBap0Ysz6PYREZU3DD/s320/5.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
With the help of a pair of fine point tweezers, peel one of them and place it in a slight angle half way on the bear's eye.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY9tdWyJU8MEXVxXr0oh8Duj6u1oYRwe4BVreVZRBlMn3YeO_NIJzs7t2_Zdj9jQTZPcdcJP5YEwmnseCUqnIvuaVEE4uj7WycxSYtbRsY0VIj-CZ5pLmpTZJEhNV_-GRLXTOYuhdl8O4O/s1600/6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY9tdWyJU8MEXVxXr0oh8Duj6u1oYRwe4BVreVZRBlMn3YeO_NIJzs7t2_Zdj9jQTZPcdcJP5YEwmnseCUqnIvuaVEE4uj7WycxSYtbRsY0VIj-CZ5pLmpTZJEhNV_-GRLXTOYuhdl8O4O/s320/6.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
With the help of the tweezers press the eyelash in place, making sure they're well and truly stuck from side to side (if you find the adhesive is a little dry, use a very small amount of clear glue to help it stick to the eye).<br />
<br />

<br />
With a pair of tweezers, hold one of the eyelids in one hand while you place a thin layer of acetone based craft glue on the back of the eyelid<br />
<br />

<br />
Place it on the eye, making sure it covers the edge of the eyelashes that is glued to the eye<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh60lYZjdD080nC645TjuHz_JZ4U5GO4DYSXOPzk8n1gNnQfL9Sq_SmFEVXOXPrCRSiWzzsaJ36TuBk2rSgge2p2XpMU9UePu_aefdYP-GMtiG69N0-WSTzxPCj0g9i6c11T9lh8qzW8K3G/s1600/9.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh60lYZjdD080nC645TjuHz_JZ4U5GO4DYSXOPzk8n1gNnQfL9Sq_SmFEVXOXPrCRSiWzzsaJ36TuBk2rSgge2p2XpMU9UePu_aefdYP-GMtiG69N0-WSTzxPCj0g9i6c11T9lh8qzW8K3G/s320/9.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
If the eyes look too sleepy, push the eyelashes and eyelid up with the help of the tweezers (as shown on the photo below).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsm-9dqR9a-PR6Xe-gPxcNC-sHf43KKM_Tj6hlLA4OVbr6ZUs_nCdrE65PEgpnN9C41IgpLIDImepVxnHclSQvM5eEdPEtN9BQ-zbTslUjY5Nr0fK-ve0Nyd5inPFC9PpSVDWaDhegHgU/s1600/11.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsm-9dqR9a-PR6Xe-gPxcNC-sHf43KKM_Tj6hlLA4OVbr6ZUs_nCdrE65PEgpnN9C41IgpLIDImepVxnHclSQvM5eEdPEtN9BQ-zbTslUjY5Nr0fK-ve0Nyd5inPFC9PpSVDWaDhegHgU/s320/11.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Place the other set of eyelashes on the other eye, making sure it's in a angle (high on the side of the bridge of the nose, and low on the outer side of the face). Repeat the rest of the procedure as per other eye.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRpLWUGp0ipbwiQ0lju3zDZpuLYxaLwRgWSExLaOUssevmscmIovSmhfeAPE7d0pkp0YRNxSlNguHr6NnBuYIn7xrPXSvIbCs6UBvoODRMF5K7HS7t-_nSDx_i98roxjXyETOdKDGQBSh5/s1600/12.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRpLWUGp0ipbwiQ0lju3zDZpuLYxaLwRgWSExLaOUssevmscmIovSmhfeAPE7d0pkp0YRNxSlNguHr6NnBuYIn7xrPXSvIbCs6UBvoODRMF5K7HS7t-_nSDx_i98roxjXyETOdKDGQBSh5/s320/12.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
(Important note: use the centre seam of the head, or the gusset seams as a guide line to make sure the holes are symmetrical to each other) <br />
<br />

<br />
If you want to keep part of the head free from the airbrushing you'll be doing, this is the time to cover that area with magic tape (make sure is nice and tight and no loose pockets show underneath the tape).<br />
<br />

While you wait for the airbrushing to dry, cut 2 oval shapes from the white mini fur with the help of the template piece supplied in the pattern, then make a hole where marked. Push the shank of the eye through the hole. If you want to, you can place a drop of acetone based glue between the mini fur and the eye to hold them in place<br />
<br />

Cut a long piece of synthetic sinew and split in half lengthways. Pick one of the lengths, and thread both ends through the long doll needle, leaving a loop at the end.<br />

<br />
Important Note: leave thread loop hanging out of the ear – DO NOT PULL ALL THE WAY THROUGH.<br />
<br />
Thread the needle through the wire loop of the eye and insert the needle back in the same hole. Come out almost next to where you started (underneath the ear)<br />

The first is made by gluing a few discs together; the other is by cutting a piece of wooden dowel and drilling a hole in the centre for the cotter pin to go through. This technique will show you how to do the later, plus how to join it to the bear's head and body.<br />
<br />
Start by cutting a piece of wooden dowel (the measurement should be the same diameter as the discs you'll be using to join the head to the body, and the height shouldn't be more than the diameter of the neck discs. Cut a piece of fur with the help of the template provided in the bear's pattern. To do this job, use only acetone based craft glue<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVb5oNXD6rkF8-OCgfqBicas7uwu1FzNcLD5doI_QDys5vuubODMKUWuU8513Fm0fpozzGUy4GXv7EjU2EIU5Gk6SPb2yyVBIQvKqYQC54Auv44U25mM7ZgHfZPUhyzf3cgFSO704BRNU/s1600/1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbVb5oNXD6rkF8-OCgfqBicas7uwu1FzNcLD5doI_QDys5vuubODMKUWuU8513Fm0fpozzGUy4GXv7EjU2EIU5Gk6SPb2yyVBIQvKqYQC54Auv44U25mM7ZgHfZPUhyzf3cgFSO704BRNU/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Apply a layer of glue around the curved side of the wooden dowel<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclDDhd83LtDJw2tfjuewAJKAkh0B9-0rxu-Whwv6YVXpqSZ3tO3v1mG5ZZbw-p2-Q4rkPZrL5VEWisxjqAdNO8u_57hhoQ5jsuzBwwjj33CUO_GXMiQ7mrw3zPPMv83Y0NCFs1PCojjCF/s1600/2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclDDhd83LtDJw2tfjuewAJKAkh0B9-0rxu-Whwv6YVXpqSZ3tO3v1mG5ZZbw-p2-Q4rkPZrL5VEWisxjqAdNO8u_57hhoQ5jsuzBwwjj33CUO_GXMiQ7mrw3zPPMv83Y0NCFs1PCojjCF/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Wrap the piece of fur around the wooden dowel till the short ends meet (they shouldn't overlap... if they do, clip excess off). Leave enough fur on top and bottom of the dowel to glue fur to dowel in the next step<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFRxs5eegUOTHhD1hvN2cd4yE-W-wlN-K0iQR-osoEcMxCcIZt-RHZ15gI1SYLsBQwZwuLuZosPQz_Qp4MG0Db7GG40re8Xa2-e2sBpWmEjySMaB6A7RF9fs5aYseLrWdJTCxw_WXS8VU/s1600/3.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFRxs5eegUOTHhD1hvN2cd4yE-W-wlN-K0iQR-osoEcMxCcIZt-RHZ15gI1SYLsBQwZwuLuZosPQz_Qp4MG0Db7GG40re8Xa2-e2sBpWmEjySMaB6A7RF9fs5aYseLrWdJTCxw_WXS8VU/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Clip top and bottom of the fur to make it easier to glue it to the wooden dowel. Apply glue to both ends and glue fur to dowel.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCNYHG80Thxj4S8U_0EtKznXX1qNq6Pz4drpPSEEJHoJjrAi_k6llHAxsRIppIGSwHPnUhW5tJ8wB09R7G4Dn6m_pXQKV-EJ-lKNLG5dYjmWqwO34Bltw9m_DYOT9yAvNuXz-ubRK54zT/s1600/4.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCNYHG80Thxj4S8U_0EtKznXX1qNq6Pz4drpPSEEJHoJjrAi_k6llHAxsRIppIGSwHPnUhW5tJ8wB09R7G4Dn6m_pXQKV-EJ-lKNLG5dYjmWqwO34Bltw9m_DYOT9yAvNuXz-ubRK54zT/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
. As the fur on top and bottom might interfere in the movement of the neck when the cotter pin goes through, clip fur off from top and bottom of the neck piece<br />
<br />

<br />
The cotter pin should be long enough to go through a metal washer and wooden disc (inside the head), then through the extra neck and finally through the body, a wooden disc and another metal washer.... and still have enough left over to turn the ends to hold the whole ensemble together<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_HcPk54ux7DGE8iuULQ7Ijsw_SfRydfhTqKGWobC-apaqrAAnmfpJ1Jul1P5V6fK5XSrZbstmW6vRAgvG4QlDYZ3xEzGddjqzEE9Du2vEJTYywl23mvNSRcGzbOAlvu7UCCMxPF5iCIQ/s1600/8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn_HcPk54ux7DGE8iuULQ7Ijsw_SfRydfhTqKGWobC-apaqrAAnmfpJ1Jul1P5V6fK5XSrZbstmW6vRAgvG4QlDYZ3xEzGddjqzEE9Du2vEJTYywl23mvNSRcGzbOAlvu7UCCMxPF5iCIQ/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
. Place a metal washer and a wooden disc through a long cotter pin. Run a gathering stitch around the neck of the head. Place the hardware ensemble into the opening with the cotter pin protruding out of the neck. Pull thread till the neck is closed, and tie a couple of knots to secure<br />
<br />

<br />
Put the cotter pin through the extra neck that's been covered with fur, then through the hole at the top of the body.<br />
<br />

<br />
Find the cotter pin through the body's back opening and place a wooden disc and a metal washer on the cotter pin's legs.<br />

<br />
With the help of a long nose pliers or a cotter pin turner, turn each cotter pin's leg away from each other and tighten to secure the neck in place<br />
<br />

The quantity of discs might vary as their thicknesses are different; but as a rule, the height of the discs (stack together) should be lower than the diameter of the discs<br />

Well, here are some helpful hints:<br />
<br />
Try not to stuff your bear too full before starting to close the seam, you can add a little more just about when you're ready to stitch your last couple of stitches. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaiwsNtGtDOuFmePlBHhnL216Gi8N9lqOW4SPxNAg6tZxEPxl0MIcEjdTqOMPfqutOckIwsCqxZ3KZ-pAGI2b6rnptA_nDi0WYtqf784y7nLphxJs2SThbwyCGh0wS4ogo7KCc3R2Tyw7/s1600/1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaiwsNtGtDOuFmePlBHhnL216Gi8N9lqOW4SPxNAg6tZxEPxl0MIcEjdTqOMPfqutOckIwsCqxZ3KZ-pAGI2b6rnptA_nDi0WYtqf784y7nLphxJs2SThbwyCGh0wS4ogo7KCc3R2Tyw7/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
With the help of a needle (I use a long darner), and some upholstery thread, start at one end, from the inside of your bear's seam<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_YPioA_OS8olWIGMdoxfPKmYTVAxYKyt7SwDDzV0YvhLo1oMZUPQOSGbcnZ8rOgK688mPr21RI2qzOS77ToxD6liEf4oTQ-etwK-DayWZLR-ZNkUHxdT7ObKTtWQHzDsDkvm99u4K9yO/s1600/2.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_YPioA_OS8olWIGMdoxfPKmYTVAxYKyt7SwDDzV0YvhLo1oMZUPQOSGbcnZ8rOgK688mPr21RI2qzOS77ToxD6liEf4oTQ-etwK-DayWZLR-ZNkUHxdT7ObKTtWQHzDsDkvm99u4K9yO/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then with ladder stitch start closing the seam. See how I have my finger between the stuffing and the fur I'm stitching. This is important, as you should try to avoid catching any stuffing with your needle. This will prevent you from easily pulling on your thread later on<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyx1_WIk7ic2E-0jvRXAvtrglcyEsjGSvFWEuVba3M__PFXjlRokINbbmpUAwjEzGD4nKkKz_gJalMj8CmoFpRtlTdZmbZ-qE7cy57GX2Z259VAjgUydGAs1qOEUd3tsoKL9ojgYYB6uzB/s1600/3.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyx1_WIk7ic2E-0jvRXAvtrglcyEsjGSvFWEuVba3M__PFXjlRokINbbmpUAwjEzGD4nKkKz_gJalMj8CmoFpRtlTdZmbZ-qE7cy57GX2Z259VAjgUydGAs1qOEUd3tsoKL9ojgYYB6uzB/s320/3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Make sure that the stitching is done evenly on both sides<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhw3AYiqU8iKTsRLmuRP7YaW_psCjFadoVvdzB1k3KySWy-fD2VSKze59j58Py3yKb-Buezp-oWvO7YgWmpf9Vbt-eBNy_GyJdIexmpT53EMs41R1J9NC7HoUcW_02-hpvk9AXS-XFItC/s1600/4.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhw3AYiqU8iKTsRLmuRP7YaW_psCjFadoVvdzB1k3KySWy-fD2VSKze59j58Py3yKb-Buezp-oWvO7YgWmpf9Vbt-eBNy_GyJdIexmpT53EMs41R1J9NC7HoUcW_02-hpvk9AXS-XFItC/s320/4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
. ...as evenly as you possibly can... <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdPjc6Vmk15sBKIUYfjGDOtSuItVeqBYm_7EAIu4pzJTuVUureeWc86mOTtH_hGExfCG1ZK7IHty5ath-4gGBGRIRkb9mGw6JXhwvxKCmG8_WrPCvdzDHW-X9txAR_NJQpyHN5j8SXv4eX/s1600/5.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdPjc6Vmk15sBKIUYfjGDOtSuItVeqBYm_7EAIu4pzJTuVUureeWc86mOTtH_hGExfCG1ZK7IHty5ath-4gGBGRIRkb9mGw6JXhwvxKCmG8_WrPCvdzDHW-X9txAR_NJQpyHN5j8SXv4eX/s320/5.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Place a little more stuffing inside your bear (if it needs it), before stitching the last few stitches<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixc1RYmdV1xjxUof_h5PQi46lqg8QsSlkoj_xOwTCZ7zUEyGK-zodRnaTPR7izlZd_AxnYQTcZeJZcmrgDYvq97uoBtpMJ9rNem8KraXpDVrL_Ci_5_8V7KrGbW5eqlj9CxHUagZvMH785/s1600/6.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixc1RYmdV1xjxUof_h5PQi46lqg8QsSlkoj_xOwTCZ7zUEyGK-zodRnaTPR7izlZd_AxnYQTcZeJZcmrgDYvq97uoBtpMJ9rNem8KraXpDVrL_Ci_5_8V7KrGbW5eqlj9CxHUagZvMH785/s320/6.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I usually don't pull the thread till the entire seam has been stitched. Then I hold the part of the bear I'm working on, and I squiz gently while pulling the thread<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZ3H-vB_tqgeV8I6od5aX-lnLNV719k95fxY7idgNDkBnHnNnruhxBBaniwIXenlOjDTYRY1ZZTJiII5FtyBt4RZXGZUrwnxuWMpfrC27Njs9llgAdGcWY1nM6VAX-sfPy1FalvXMrmRh/s1600/7.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZ3H-vB_tqgeV8I6od5aX-lnLNV719k95fxY7idgNDkBnHnNnruhxBBaniwIXenlOjDTYRY1ZZTJiII5FtyBt4RZXGZUrwnxuWMpfrC27Njs9llgAdGcWY1nM6VAX-sfPy1FalvXMrmRh/s320/7.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Some wrinkles may appear if you've pulled the thread too tight. If this happens, rub your finger or finger nail over the seam to smooth it out<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQzHskraLr12yAfdGdki1mbtJpvmuR6pT_sFvR3mhTkbgqEV2eoq9Z96ow_vnd5aNGUnmGmwkB4SKLX-mSE7-sO_4HwerTipdtztUDneiupo0d26kX1l6friAgqZALSAUXzRhfKi9l_NBW/s1600/8.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQzHskraLr12yAfdGdki1mbtJpvmuR6pT_sFvR3mhTkbgqEV2eoq9Z96ow_vnd5aNGUnmGmwkB4SKLX-mSE7-sO_4HwerTipdtztUDneiupo0d26kX1l6friAgqZALSAUXzRhfKi9l_NBW/s320/8.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Make a couple of knots<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qcRL9J_R4YucVIyhpXhdekY2g2tjnBjpTB4SJKmlG7AdRpvtroC0E4cjZFciGx0qPkM3u8qovtFasjyHBNG44_34zipSM9ayAItpzNvpi04kRPSvcFwoNQFCZ2l_kJNyN-RCxgoWTOhN/s1600/9.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qcRL9J_R4YucVIyhpXhdekY2g2tjnBjpTB4SJKmlG7AdRpvtroC0E4cjZFciGx0qPkM3u8qovtFasjyHBNG44_34zipSM9ayAItpzNvpi04kRPSvcFwoNQFCZ2l_kJNyN-RCxgoWTOhN/s320/9.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Then insert the needle right inside the knots you've made and pull the needle anywhere out of the part of the bear you're working on<br />

<br />
Cut the thread close to the fur. Brush the fur with a fur brush and VOILA!!<br />
