Material list

We all love polar bears. You can make a whole polar bear family from very little craft material. Great fun for the whole family.

Step by step guide

1. The priming

First you prime the 3 coils and the 3 Wooden balls, and the 3 hemispheres with the VBS Hobby Color, white. Tip: For an extra thorough priming coat, paint a second time and let it dry.

2. Foam sheets cut to size

First, cut out the ear shape 12 times from the 2 mm thick, white Foam sheets . Glue two ear blanks to each other with the hot glue gun. Cut out 6x grey blanks and glue each one to one ear. Cut 6x the eyes. Cut the remaining foam rubber sheets into long strips (parallel to the longest side of the foam rubber).

3. Polar bear "modeling" body

Now start by wrapping the white stripes around the Spool to create volume (filling). The ends are fixed with some hot glue. Tip: for the small coils one strip is enough, for the high Spool you should take 3 - 4 strips. Afterwards you can form a body by wrapping the grey stripes around it as you like.

4. Stick on nose and ears

Place the hemisphere and the tinkered ears on the head sphere with hot glue. Then paint the nose, eyebrows and pupils with a fine black marker.

5. Head & body assembly & finish

Now glue the head to the body with hot glue. from green Felt 3 cut off approx. 1.5 cm wide long strips and place them around the bear's neck as a scarf. Once "folded over" to a light knot and finally glue the ends with some hot glue.
