 So there you have it one side of your Ted is done, now you can just continue down the back of your puppet reversing shapings or break your yarn and make another piece exactly the same.

 Make your bears features before you sew the two sides together it's much easier that way. 

To make the ears just back stitch across the two corners of the head.

Then decorate any way you wish, have fun! 

These Teds are great fun to make and be warned they are quite addictive too, make some and send them for this great cause, or for a cute little child in your life.


Please let me know if you have any questions or if something isn't clear.
