Teddy bears are an iconic symbol of childhood. They are often our first
and best-loved toys right through to adulthood, often passed on to our
own children to enjoy. This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive guide
takes you into the magical world of teddy bear making and shows you how
to create your own traditional bear to hand down through the
generations.
The book begins with a short history of the teddy bear, followed by
detailed information on tools, materials and essential bear-making
techniques. There's guidance on finding design inspiration, and three
complete step-by-step projects to get you started. There's then detailed
guidance on how to create different eyes, ears, noses and mouths to give
your bear a unique personality, and sewn outfits to dress them in. The
book ends with notes on care and repair, ensuring your treasured
creation will last a lifetime.
