That was a great tutorial Jodi, and nice to see how someone else does a mini!

Well done Jodi ... a lot of work ... but judging from the response you will have found it well worth it.

Been making bears for over ten years and mini's are still scarey to me ... it's the size of all those little pieces ... but you certainly make it look easy! And the results you get are such jolly wee things ... just  bear_wub  them to bits.

Like Kelly I didn't have any stars to give you so perhaps you'll accept this trophy instead.

Jodi: Loved the lessons on making the mini bear. I love the way you did the joints. I think I can do that!!! This was very gracious of you to put this together. I am sure, that there are many of us out there that picked up on many helpful hints...

Gladys,


Your most welcome !! And you know what ? That was an idea that popped into my head just as I was planning that bear. I am sure it was GOD given.So that was my first time to use that idea also. I just finished a little bear the other day using that jointing system and I will share him soon also. Looking forward to seeing your little one  bear_grin .

                             Bear Hugs to you today !!

Hi Jodi
I am telling you, I am glad that the idea pooped into your head! Is so much better that the regular tread jointing system or to fuss with the smallest disks and cotter pins!! In this little one I used just the bottom ( JOY!! ) and it work so much better. I love making wee ones and my less favorite part was that, the jointing  !!! Not any more thanks to you !
God bless, have a great day and thank you again for sharing.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Hi Jodi is me again!! I was just on " Mini washer and cotter pins" topic and Michelle had another idea, close to yours, about jointing wee bears. This one using a sequin and wire will be good when the bear is so tiny that you can not find a bottom. I would show her post in here but....I do not know how to do it bear_ermm  I hope that  maybe, one day, i will "learn"!!

Gladys,

Your bear is so cute !! How fun, I am glad it helped you. I would be afraid to use a wire, just because a wire after a while will snap when bent to many times, But on the other hand, mimi's just stay put most of the time and not bent allot of times. Ummmmmmm I will take a look at that, thanks.
