More Paper Dolls (er, Bears)

Aloha, all!

I mentioned earlier that I was going to be working to make a magnet board for my grandchildren to use for the Build-A-Bear-Workshop (BABW) bears and their clothes.  I’ve finally go the magnet routine down, and thought I’d share it.  I’m not sure when I’m going to get back to more of this project because, believe it or not, there’s more than BABW and the Sizzix Bears in the mini catalog that you’ll be seeing before long.  TONS more!!  And I’d like to whet your appetite for some of the holiday-relates projects that you can make with the wonderful new products in the mini.

Here’s my first magnetic bear with his magnetic clothes (or is a "her"?  We have skirts for the girl bears, but I’d think a girl bear could wear slacks, too, huh?).  I found it a bit tricky to get magnets working on all levels with the bear and the clothes.  But I finally did figure out a fairly simple way of getting the job done, and I’ve included a tutorial on that here on my blog.

Stay tuned as tomorrow I’ll have the whole magnet board set up with bears and other Stampin’ Up! related "stuff."
