 How many of you love those adorable little tear bears you see on cards, tags,
scrapbook layouts and other papercraft projects? Tear bears are not as
complicated as most people think. It's Easy as 1...2...3...
.
Instructions:
1.Use a pencil to draw out a simple
pattern on a piece of mulberry paper (simple patters can be found in
colouring books and paper piecing books or even on-line).
2. Use a very fine tipped paint brush which is
slightly wet (not dripping) and trace the pencil line, then tear where the thin
wet line is around each piece and set aside each piece to dry. The tearing
along the thin wet lines will cause the mulberry paper to become fuzzy, but
that's alright because you'll want your bear fuzzy (you can make a tear puppy,
elephant, frog etc..., the tear bear technique can be applied to most other
simple paper piecing projects). :)
3. After each piece is dry, use
small amounts of adhesive to put your tear bear or tear critter
together.
Tips:
1. Use pop dots for the nose, paws and ears to
create a special effect.
2. Use chalk in the ears and on the
cheeks.
3. Instead of fussing with a tiny
little white centers for the eyes, use a quality white gel pen
instead.
4. The thicker the paper, the
fuzzier the bear- try other variations of hand made
paper.
5. For a really cute tear bear, it's
all about the 'details'. Add a little bow or flower at the top of it's head,
maybe make a pair of paper overall's or even a baseball cap or bonnet. The
skies the limit with your creation!
