Persistent markers
1. Inflate a long ball (usually a special pump is used for this). Fill it with air not to the end, leaving 10-12 cm, and tie.
2. Twisting the ball (all the time in one direction - if twisting in different, then the figure will not keep the shape), make a series of muzzle, slightly smaller in the neck, then a big enough cheek and a small ear. The upper part of the head should be the same size as the cheek. Make one more ear and cheek. When twisting the ball, hold the finished parts by hand.
3. Twist the parts of the ball, forming the head. You should get a ring that combines five elements - cheeks, ears and top.
4. Pass the remaining 2 pieces into the ring so that the muzzle and the back are formed.
5. To make your ears more like real, take each ear with your fingers and twist it in the direction that you chose initially.
6. Make a neck, twisting the ball slightly below the head.
7. Go to the details of the trunk - twist the ball so that the upper paw turns out, then the shorter bottom, then the lower and upper ones. Twist the ball at the base of the neck.
8. From the rest of the ball make a back and a stomach. The remainder of the hide in a toy or, gently lowering the ball, tie the knot and cut the excess.
9. Make a nose out of the rest of the colored balls, tie. Inflate a thin ball - "scarf".
10. Draw an indelible marker of the eye and claws. Show your imagination - let your bear get character and mood.
