Bear Family FREE Templates | Corinne Lapierre

Make a sweet set of bears and their adorable outfits and accessories!

Beginner-friendly and made from felt, this guest designer project by Corinne Lapierre is such a lovely set of toys that can be admired by children and adults alike!

Once you've made the bears, you can find the instructions for their outfits here.

Corinne says...

“Stuff with toy filling as you go along, as it will be much easier, especially for the arms and legs.”

This project can be found in Corinne's book Felt Animal Families

Where can I find the project step by steps?

To make this project, read the Half Yard™ digital magazine! In issue #4 you can find plenty more exclusive projects as well as some member stories, behind-the-scenes club news, and hear from Debbie.
