Steps – DIY Teddy Bear

Watch the video below to see the step-by-step tutorial:

Or follow these steps.

First, we will make several pom-poms for this DIY Teddy Bear.

We need one pom-pom for the teddy bear’s body and one pom-pom for its head. I used white yarn for these pom-poms.

Then we need two pom-poms for ears, two pom-poms for hands and two pom- poms for the legs. I used red colour for this part.

And lastly, we need a tiny black pom-pom for the nose.

So, let’s start making!

Step 1

First, let’s make a pom-pom for the teddy bear’s body. Wrap the white yarn around your palm approximately 200 times. This may seem like a very big number at first. But once you start it, you will find yourself doing it like a pro.

Step 2

Carefully remove it from your palm without unwrapping. Tie a knot using another yarn around its middle part and make sure it is really tight.

Step 3

Cut open both the sides using scissors and gently fluff it up. Cut off any extra lengths of yarn projecting out. Voila! You have made the first pom-pom for this teddy bear that will form its body. You can cut this pom-pom to form an oval-shape for the body if you prefer.

Step 4

Make another pom-pom the same way. Make it a little smaller than the previous one by cutting off some extra length from the tips. You have made the pom-pom for the head.

Step 5

Now, let’s make six small red pom-poms for the ears, hands and legs. Wrap the yarn around two of your adjacent fingers approximately 150 times for these pom-poms.

Step 6

Lastly, make a black tiny pom-pom for the nose by wrapping the yarn approximately 50 times around one finger.

Step 7

You have made all the pom-poms for this DIY Teddy Bear. Now, stick them together using a hot-glue gun. Don’t forget to add the wiggle eye stickers too!

That’s it! You have made your own cute little Teddy-Bear

This DIY Teddy Bear makes a perfect gift on Valentine’s day, Birthdays or any other special occasions.
