Wool felted teddy bears | Lill-Klas & Stor-Klas

First it was this one, a chubby little bear that I call Lill-Klas (little Klas). I really like how he turned out. But then there were some pieces of that machine felted cap left, so Lill-Klas wanted a pal.

I made another bear, with a little bit taller and thinner body. I named him Stor-Klas (Big Klas):

I got the idea to make these bears by a fellow blogger, Abby Glassenberg of the blog While She Naps, that recently made bears from an old sweater. Thanks for the inspiration!

Little shirt buttons – or teddy bear eyes as I like to use them as.

I used black buttons as there eyes, from a little bag I thrifted once. They made great eyes!

If you want to view more pictures of these bears visit flickr or take a look at a few here:

Susan, do you remember the wool cap I bought last year when we thrifted in Stockholm? I thought it might become a felted bag, but it turned out it wanted to be something else!

  1. Maybe you should potrait things that are outside of your home. I find it comforting to remember that there exsists a whole universe of activity which I am not an active participant in.
