Mohair teddy bear handmade toy New year gift idea Dressed bear toy

This handmade teddy bear is made from soft Italian mohair and filled with cedar and bird cherry shavings, along with wood wool for a cozy feel. I’ve weighted it with metal granules for a nice heft. I applied traditional techniques, using disks and cotter pins to ensure durability. Its glass eyes lend a charming expression, while the nose is sculpted from self-hardening clay, painted with acrylics, and finished with a glossy coat. The bear is softly toned with dry pastels, enhancing its character. To complete the look, I knitted a cozy hooded jacket from natural Estonian wool, adding a touch of warmth and style. Standing at 16 cm and sitting at 13 cm, this teddy bear is not just a toy; it's a cherished companion, crafted with care for those who appreciate the art of handmade treasures.
