For the fourth challenge of 2010, I invite you to play with your papercraft punches or dies to make a papercraft teddy bear in your own style. Full challenge instructions are below.
I made the pink, mauve and yellow bear below 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?
FOr the fourth challenge of 2010, we made paper punch teddy bears. But teddy bears are timeless. You can use these instructions any time to create your own version of punch art.
Make a paper punched bear with the following suggested items in mind:
And another thing: you should also have fun while you complete this challenge and go ahead and be as creative as you can b.
That's all!
Oh yes. You can find the punch art teddy bear instructions here too.
More suggestions:
Use other mediums if you like (e.g.: paint, ink, glitter glue), choose your own embellishments, change the size of the bear, 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!
Or how about putting him inside an explosion box card or album? What a nice surprise it would be to find a pop up teddy bear inside!
Are you inspired yet? I hope so! I would dearly love to see how your papercraft bear turns out.
You will need the following supplies for your paper punch bear:
Here's what to do:
