Since we are talking about other than sewn bears, I thought I'd ask if anyone else is making pipecleaner bears. I have a booklet from a British woman on how to make them and this is my first try.

Sabine, cute bear!

I use sometime pipecleaner for arms on my dolls. Very handy. And they're flexible.  bear_tongue

Sabine, he is so cute! I wouldn't have expected to see something so cute come from a pipe cleaner. Great job!

He is really rather good. Years ago I saw gollies made from pipe cleaners and I always wish I had bought one. bear_ermm

Thanks for the compliments everybody. I can't take too much credit though since I followed Elke's instructions to make him. The booklet also includes instructions for a bunny btw.

Dilu, the bear is about 1.75 in high sitting. Since pipecleaner bears arent' jointed, he can't stand.

Berta Hesen-Minten also does cute pipecleaner bears. Check out her website http://www.threadteds.com

Cheers

Very cute. well done.
I've been making pipe cleaner animals forever now. It started at work, being bored and all. I love making bunnies, never made a teddy though, Go figure.
I find people are just amazing at what you can do with a pipe cleaner, and i try not to use any glue or other materials.
I'm amazing more people are doing this, cool!
Just wish I would've been the 1st one to sell the kit................................ bear_laugh
