Fourth Challenge of 2010

For the fourth challenge of 2010, I want you to play with your papercraft punches to make a papercraft bear in your own style.

I made the pink, mauve and yellow bear above to be a baby card embellishment for a little girl. Do you like how it turned out? I was happy with my she-bear once I saw her all finished on my craft desk.

You don't have to make your teddies all pink and girly though. Scroll down for a more masculine bear example. This bear could be anything to anyone! You can even change his/her expression if you so desire. You are in control of how your bear turns out.

Are you ready to hear about the inspiration instructions? Here They Are:

Use the instructions on papercraftcentral.com to make a teddy bear out of cardstock like the one above, only make it

1. In the colours of your choice, and
2. With the sentiment you want it to say, and
3. To use your finished bear on a card or in a scrapbook layout, and
4. So that you can post it up to PaperCraftCentral using the form below

That's all!

Except you should also have fun while you complete this challenge and go ahead and be as creative as you can be :) Use other mediums if you like (e.g.: paint, ink, glitter glue), choose your own embellishments, change the size of the bears, anything goes, as long as I can see that you used my basic pattern for your bear once it is finished.

Here's that other example of a bear made using different colours and sentiments. I think it looks totally different to the pink girly bear I first showed you:

Don't you think this little guy could be used on a boy's page in a scrapbook, or to say hi to a friend, or to send a warm hug to just about anyone? You could even change the decorative bit - imagine him holding a sign that says 'gone fishing' or 'A gift for you' or 'Get well'. This teddy can say anything!

Are you inspired yet? I hope so! I would dearly love to see how your papercraft bear turns out.

Here's the place for you to upload your own handmade papercraft teddy:
