I experimented with using some cereal boxes to create this cute bear with movable arms and legs. I’ve been wanting to create a project with cardboard ever since I saw this post on design sponge. So, I put together this bear pattern for you to try too! Just download this PDF and cut out the pieces and use as your template to trace onto cardboard. Cardboard packaging works perfectly.

Once all the parts are cut, you can use a needle and thread to sew the layers together. You could also use miniature brads to achieve the same mobility, it just wouldn’t look as cute as the buttons. I drew the flower freehand and used a yellow colored pencil to add some interest. I also threaded this together with needle and thread and used a button on top. I think it turned out pretty cute! Not sure what I’ll use it for, but I’m glad I finally got around to doing it.
Have a great weekend everybody! Keep your eyes peeled next week for some exciting posts about my new handcrafted products and a giveaway that you won’t want to miss!
