Guest Post- Teddy and shirt tutorial

• Once the body is ready, we need to dress the teddy. For the clothes I tinted gum paste with blue color. Roll the gum paste into sausage and cut to make the legs of the teddy bear.
• Now using the tool shown in the picture make a cone shaped model. This creates the opening of the pants.

• Now make feet by shaping them as shown in the picture with the gum paste we set aside first. Poke small holes to make toes

• Brush some Tylo glue and stick the pants and feet in place. You can make tylo glue at home following this recipe.

• Now lets complete the teddy bear with the T-shirt finally.
• Roll white gum paste very thin and cut into a rectangular shape using knife. Make two slits. Small slit for the collar and a longer one for the shirt’s end and shape as shown.
• Now glue it in place using Tylo glue, do not bend much and use more glue to stick the back.
 
• Finally make hands following the instructions for feet.
• 
• Glue the hands to the body. Add details on the shirt. We are almost done

• Connect the head using cocktail stick. See the post Teddy Bear to make the head
