Below are some examples of my knitted bears, I have noticed that there are only a few teddy bear artist that knit/crochet there teddies and was wondering if my teddies would be good enough to sell. Have sold a few to family and friends but am interested in making some money from my hobby (which I am sure we all are).
Any comments, advice would be most welcome!!
Greg's is a fully jointed teddy with eyes made from polymer clay and a crocheted nose.
Teddy is also fully jointed with eyes and nose made from polymer clay.
Oupa's eyes and nose where made specifically for him from polymer clay.
Lamkins has an embroidered nose and polymer clay eyes.
Blue has safety eye and arms/legs are sewn on to body, inteded for baby / child under 3 years.
Scruffy has an embroidered nose and polymer clay eyes.
Teddy has an embroidered nose and polymer clay eyes.
Grumpy has an embroidered nose and polymer clay eyes.
They are lovely, I especially like Grumpy , there are quite a few artists out there, mainly crochet I would say, if you look on the dreaded EBay lol you will see quite a few miniature crochet bear. As regards to selling yes why not, I started by selling to family and friends, I also did local craft fairs, You could try EBay but competition is fierce. The best advice I can give you is set up a Facebook page and sell from there. Best of luck. Xx
thank you. I have taken the plunge and set up blog and facebook page. Have already done some local fairs and sold to family - have a feeling family DON'T want any more teddies.
Lambkins and Blue are my favourites. They look like they just need a cuddle ( so cute ). I think your bears are good I dont sell things myself but I'm sure if thats what you wanted to do your creations are good enough. X
