You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 Teddy Bear
  • Your Choice Of Material
  • 2 Press Stud

Steps (7 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Pick a bear to hollow out, make sure its not brand new and it wasnt exspensive :) give it a wash and away we go :)

  2. 2

    Undo the stitching at the back until it reaches the bottom of the head and the start of the tail :)

  3. 3

    Remove the stuffing BUT make sure you dont take any out from its arms, legs or head :)

  4. 4

    Cut out your material into a rectangle and fold in half. sew two of the sides shut on the reverse side :)

  5. 5

    Stuff the material inside your bear patterned side facing inwards :)

  6. 6

    Sew the edge of your material to the bear. if there is more material to fit around the hole than the hole is big enough continue to sew until you complete the circle. then pull out the material and sew up any extra material :) (im sorry if you can understand this step, im not very good at instructions

  7. 7

    Your bear should then look like this :) push the material back inside and sew on press studs to seal the bear :) now you can take it wherever you want...a sleepover with hidden snacks, or use itt for your toiletries :) Thankyou x
