Materials

  • 5–6 pipe cleaners (12 inches each, in various colors)
  • Small black seed beads for eyes (4 mm)
  • Tiny black pom-poms or beads for noses
  • Mini ribbons or lace (6–8 inches long for bows and collars)
  • Hot glue gun with fine tip
  • Scissors
  • Optional: small party hats, sequins, or mini embellishments

Instructions

  • Cut one pipe cleaner into smaller sections including one for the head, two for the arms, and two for the legs. The head section should be about 2 inches long.
  • Roll the head piece into a tight spiral, then shape a small ball at the end to form the bear’s head. Twist the remaining part to make a short neck.
  • Fold and twist the arm and leg pieces onto the body section, bending the ends slightly to look like paws. Then adjust until the proportions look right.
  • Glue tiny beads for eyes and a small pom-pom for the nose. You can add lace or a ribbon around the neck for a sweet detail.
  • For extra personality, you can decorate your bear with tiny hats, sequins, or buttons.
