jluper7297 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I have a few questions about these. First, how stiff does the bear get when fully cooled? Will it hold it's sitting position??? Second, do you fluff the butt? Like, when it's sitting, do you fluff the bottom parts that sit on the table?? How much wax is supposed to be on the bottom? I kind of have alot on mine Edited June 8, 2011 by jluper7297 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It gets really stiff I use to pose them all the time and unless it was really hot they would stay that way. No I do not fluff the butt.I dipped my bears and then squeeze really hard to get the excess wax out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Totally agree with Vicky! They hold a sitting pose very well (I use pillar wax.) I squeeze their bottoms several times during the process ~ and it's always the site of final squeeze too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Do you guys make clothes for them or just accessorize them? If you do make clothes, is it hard? I am not very good with a sewing machine, I can do the basic alter or hem, but patterns confuse me. Of course it's probably been 20 years since I even looked at one.I made a few yesterday for my daughter's cheer team, here is a few pics of how they turned out.

jluper7297 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yes, making those pom poms was a PITA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Never tried making clothes or dressing them up. I have seen some done that way and they are cute. Yours are precious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jluper7297 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) THANK YOU!!! My hubby, girls & friends said they were cute too... I wasn't sure if they were just trying to make me feel good though. HAAAA!!!I think they need a necklace or something though. Maybe a little megaphone charm.
