tear bears!

[joy-for-scrapbooking]

I am currently trying out my first tear bear! So much fun! But I am quite worried that it is not going to turn out so great. I am waiting for my pieces to dry so that I can "fluff" them up!

I feel like my pieces are not quite accurate. The instructions that I was following indicated that I should trace my pattern onto the mullberry paper leaving a half-inch for wetting and tearing. On this small of a thing, a half-inch is pretty big! Don't you think?

How do you tear your tear bears?

no not really I don;t think. If you left much smaller it would be too hard to tear. Once you have made one, you can judge what works for you.

Thank you for your replies. I finished the tearing and fluffing. They were a little larger than I hoped, so next time I might not enlarge them as much, but otherwise, I really enjoyed making them. I do not think I will be showing anyone my first tear bears but I have to start somewhere, right!
