Straighteners
Since the rows and columns are not visible, first of all be guided by the photo. Points 1, 2, 3,
are about 3 rows above the muzzle. Between points 1-2 and 3-4 at 2 sc.
We introduce a needle with a strong long thread on the back of the head (conditional point “З”), output at point 1, input at point 2 (the thread passes over the canvas) and output at point “З”, tighten. We enter at point “З”, output at point 3, enter at point 4 (the thread passes over the canvas) and output at point “З”.We tighten the thread. We repeat the whole procedure again, tightening well. We fix and hide the thread.
We embroider the nose, mouth line and eyebrows. Find a good position for the ears and sew from. If desired, you can tint the mouth line, eyebrows, the area around the eyes and the inner part of the ears with brown dry pastels.
We cut out hearts from felt, glue them on the paws, tie a bow. That’s it, the mint bear is ready.
