Hi,

I want to make a bear with an open mouth. Could somebody help me? I dont know how to make.

One of the buys I ever made when it comes to bear making is Nancy Tillberg's book "101 bears to make". There is a chapter in the book - fully illustrated - on how to do open mouth. It is not as complicated as it seems (I think...I haven't tried yet bear_wacko bear_grin ) - at least that is what I have heard from others. I know amazon.com has the book.

Alternatively, you can sign up for an online class with Nancy Tillberg. I just signed up for an online class, making a bear called Sunny and he has an open mouth. The illustrated instructions that comes with the class are just great and you should be able to make an open mouth bear following these instructions. Take a look at this site - http://www.kranbearys.com/EbearZ/index.htm - there are lots of great classes. bear_original

Good luck with your open mouth bear - remember to post pics of the finished bear bear_happy

I am sure somewhere here is the info you need. Go to the Library section and you should find some guidelines.

The book by Nancy Tillberg is a good book to have as it will give you comprehensive notes and pictures. Again she offers On-line classes which you can check out using the above mentioned link.

Lynette made a good suggestion, Michaela . . . the library is located right above your first post - on the left side.
Scroll down and you will find "Mouths" as one of the subjects.
