florida Okay so i am very very short on supplies and im trying to be creative here! I like the idea of recycling things and i've heard of people making amazing bears out of grandmas old coat lol so has anyone tried reusing the material of a stuffed animal?! Since im a beginner it seemed like a cheap way to start?
I haven't tried it, but the thought has crossed my mind at times when I've seen a large, inexpensive mohair bear on ebay.
It would be a lot of work, but if money it tight, might be worth it. (I guess it depends on how you feel about the stuffed animal. 
)

Tickled Pink BearsHeidiBears, I'm just wondering, were are you located, in the US? or overseas? 
Someone may have scraps they wouldn't mind "donating" to help you get started. 
florida I'm in the US
That's a very good idea, Kelly Jo.
Heidi, why don't you put a post in the General section, and let people know what you need (fabric, joints, eyes, etc.). People are always cleaning out their workrooms, and/or would be happy to help a newbie bear-maker.
