Supplies required: Please Note that this list is for a basic 15 inch bear. You may choose alternate and additional supplies for specialty techniques based on the information given in the Boot Camp. If you have supplies on hand...Great! If not, you may
want to wait until the Camp begins to purchase them.
- 1/4 yd mohair fabric in a color, density and pile-length of your choice. Mohair or a woven synthetic is preferable to a synthetic plush with a knit backing. Knit back synthetics will not produce as nice of a finished bear because the intended shape 'str-e-t-c-h-e-s during stuffing.
- 1 pair 10 or 12 mm glass eyes in black or a color of your choice.
- An 8 inch square of felt or ultra-suede for your paw pads. Leather,
suede or lined (interfacing) cloth is also acceptable.
- Pearl cotton for the nose. You'll only need about 48-60 inches.
- A 1 inch square section of black felt
- 3 45 mm joints
- 2 55 mm joints
I prefer to use fibre board joints with a lock nut and set screw
arrangement for attaching the joint. You can use epoxy lock nut, lock
nut or pop rivet joints if you like.
- A spool of polyester thread in a color to match your mohair. *
- A sheet of bristol or poster board for pattern template preparation
and a glue stick. *
- Polyester fiber-fil stuffing. A bag can be purchased at your local craft store or Walmart.*
- Ribbon for a bow.*
