- Roll a handful of dough into a ball for the head. Put it on top of the body and press gently.
- For the paws, roll some dough between your hands into a sausage of 10cm long and 4cm thick, and cut it a bias. Put one paw straight under the body and the other one pointing to the side, with the cutting edges against the body.
- make the eras from two pieces of dough as big as a bean and press them on the head with the molding stick, use a small piece of dough for the snout and an even smaller piece for the nose. Make the eyes with a toothpick.
- For the bow-tie, roll out a piece of dough until it's 5mm thick. Cut a strip of 12cm width and 4cm long, and cut in in shape. Press the knot in the dough with the molding stick en draw the folds on both sides. Put it in the neck of the bear.
- Make a balloon from some dough. Roll it into a ball en press it flat somewhat. Attach a small piece of dough as big as a pea en press it flat with the molding stick. Draw some lines underneath the bow-tie with the molding stick.
