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.

I saw some of these on ebay and wanted to learn how to make em! Very cute!
Hi Kim, check out the web page of the lady who makes these. She sells her book and supplies on ebay. http://www.tinyteddies.150m.com/

Sabine, that's really cute! Thanks, too, for the link... interesting!
nice one
Hmmmm - pipe cleaner bears are cute!
Sabine.....how adorable....how tall is this ittybitty? thank you for the link...tomarrow I will go take a look....Very clever this lady....
Sabine, cute bear!
I use sometime pipecleaner for arms on my dolls. Very handy. And they're flexible.
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.
oooooooo gollies?
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................................
