Part 22: Teddy Bear Ornament

Since I have been making bears for the school, I had lots of scraps from them; thus this idea came about.

Supplies:

• fuzzy fabric or felt
• pearl cotton in your choice of colors
• 2 buttons
• a tiny tiny bit of batting or stuffing or other scraps to stuff nose with
• needle/scissors / thimble, if you use one

Order of events:

1. Cut four circles: 2 for ears, 1 for muzzle, and one larger one for head. I cut these free hand, no template; I think it adds to the charm of the bear if they are a little wonky.
2. Blanket stitch around head.
3. Add ears and blanket stitch around them.
4. Blanket stitch around muzzle and add it to face; don't stitch all the way around, yet.
   
5. Stuff and finish blanket stitch.
6. Add button eyes and embroider nose and ears (I used chain stitch on the blue ears, and colonial knots on the yellow ears); use whatever stitches you like -- satin...
7. Add hanger; done.
   

On a side note, these would make adorable gift tags on baby items, then the Mom and Dad could use them as baby's first ornament.
