| Instructions

| |
1. |
To make the bear, trace the pattern on paper or cardstock.
Be sure and mark the eyelet placement, then cut out the shapes.
If you want to use a particular color of paper, but it’s kind
of flimsy, glue it to cardstock to give it more body. Once you have
the shapes cut out, punch the holes. The size of the hole depends
upon the size of the eyelet. Use a 1/8” hole punch…the
size needed for this particular size eyelet. You can use a hole
punch with a hammer. (Be sure and use a cutting mat to protect the
surface), or a paper punch. |

2. |
You should have holes punched in the arms and body.
(Note two holes in each arm.) Match the holes in the body to holes
in the arms. ) Note which holes are for the eyelets and which are
for the pull string.) Insert the eyelet from front to back. (The
flattened side is the front) Flip the pattern over to the wrong
side. Position the eyelet-setting tool on the eyelet and hit it
with a hammer. You might want to practice once or twice first so
that you learn how hard to hit the tool. You don’t want to
flatten the eyelet too much or the arms won’t move. |

3. |
Thread the string through the holes in the arms. This
is what makes the arms move. Here’s a tip: Attach pennies
to the back of the arms so they will fall back into place after
you pull the string. |

4. |
Attach the teddy bear to the page. You might choose
to your pop-dots, however, remember to only place the dots on the
sections that you do not move. Make sure they are positioned so
that arms, legs or wings can move freely. |
