Can we start making Valentine's crafts yet?

 So, I still haven't put away all my Christmas decorations and I feel like I am already behind with my Valentine's Day crafting/ cardmaking! Do you feel the same? I find myself looking at so many Pinterest pages for inspiration, that sometimes I end up pinning all night and not actually making the actual project. So I decided I was going to start with something quick and easy to get me started and excited about bigger projects. I found these adorable mini teddy bears from The Mulitcrafteral Lab and other pinners and gave them a go.

Let me tell you, I have always been intrigued by mini versions of everything, and this one did not disappoint! Her tutorial was fairly easy to follow and you can actually make them in 5 minutes. I made a tan-colored first and ended up making a few of them and then some white ones. I did not have black beads for the eyes, so I ended up painting silver seed beads for the eyes, but they were too difficult to glue on because they were so tiny. Once I bought the right sized beads, they really came together!

I modified a bit of the twisting and bending to what I thought was easier and I love the end results! I posted a quick tutorial of my version on my TikTok. I hope you get inspired and get started on yours, cause, who doesn't love a teddy bear, right?
