Great idea and cute design, Jodi! I might cut and presew some, then invite my son and his friends to finish them as ornaments. Or maybe, if I get really ambitious, the Cub Scouts -- if the head was made of felt, they could glue on eyes and accessories. How crazy would it be to try it with 40 boys ages 6-11? Hm...

Mindy ,thank you, and I am so glad you are going to use the pattern. And using felt is a really great idea. I have made something like this in felt and they turn out really cute !!! This pattern can be geared to many ages . Thats why I shared it . And Christmas ornaments is a GREAT idea !!! Maybe thats an idea for another class I will have to see. I work retail and we are gearing up for Christmas, trees are already UP !!! So I don't know how much free time I can come up with ,...but Keep an eye out for more    . You have fun and you have to share pictures !!! YOU MUST ,YOU MUST !!!!

Bear Hugs And Blessings From Above

Dearest Jodi, 
Thank you for sharing this darling pattern!  I love fast little projects like this.  It's a great little take-along in the car and helps use up those little scrap mohair pieces I just can't seem to toss in the bin.  I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. 

Warmest hugs,  :hug:

6-11 y/o boys... I can only imagine what will be created...
I am thinking space aliens...
Good Idea, Mindy!

You know that gives me an idea. I know a girl scout mother at work, she's always looking for good ideas. Jodi would you mind if I shared this with her?

Jodi Falk Sep 27, 2006

JARED , I WOULD LOVE IT. ITS THERE FOR EVERY ONE TO HAVE FUN !!!!! So GO FOR IT !!!

Bearalive Sep 27, 2006

Hi Jodi I already cut a "few" bear pins! I can't stop making the little heads! I am making a couple the size of the original pattern  a "few" of smaller ones! I have so many little pieces of Mohair than I can not used  but, can't make myself to through them away and this pattern of yours is the perfect size for those left over pieces!! You told Dilu what about making a Golly one and I think that is a good idea too! I am thinking of putting some of the heads inside flowers, to make like a corsage?? ..I made a long time ago, one little bear head in a rose and one inside a  carnation for a friend and her husband that were having the grand opening of their bear store. Your little head is so much better that the one I used!. Mine was just a smaller bear head. I will see if I can have "some" of them done tomorrow and I will show pictures ( if I ever can stop making them!  ) I think I will make some of them , to put on Christmas tree and gift packages!!  One of the good things about this pattern you share with us is  that, you can make it, as detailed, with Mohair glass eyes and the rest, use a lot of embellishments  or make it as simple as  a fun projet for kids, like Jare's idea.  Felt???... I think I have to try that one too!!
Thanks again Jodi.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Gladys !!!!! I am so excited that your taking off with this project. You will be sharing the love every where !! And thats what it is all about !! GOD'S speed Dearie !!!! :dance: You have even given me some ideas!!! Smaller ones are really cute. I bumped this one up so it would be easier for every one    But if any one wants to do that just go to a copy machine and play around with shrinking it . Till you get a size you like. But the smaller you go the harder it may be.

Have Fun Gladys, and you must share pictures !!!

Thanks, Jodi and Gladys, 

And YES, it was fun to make

, and quick too.  I went into my scrap bag for the mohair.  I have another one cut out.  He (or she) will be a Christmas bear.  We're going to Tahoe this weekend.  I think I'll cut out a couple more to take and work on there.

tuppies teddies Sep 28, 2006

Well, I am hooked too.  Thanks Jodie for the pattern,  I delved into my jars, boxes, draws, and shelves and found lots of things I can use on other pins.  I even found some brooch pins that I had bought ages ago.

Well, here goes everyone my first one....

Jodi Falk Sep 28, 2006

Here they are!
Well Jodi you wanted to see  a lot!! I had so much fun,  have had to stop myself from keep on making them! The bigger one ( the only white one) will be to put on a special present, like a bow and the last one is a tree ornament. She is an Angel. all of the other ones are pins.
