A surprise for a friend
My husband gets me Vermont Teddy Bears every Valentines Day and I love them. Well I have an online friend who is a huge fan of Dean from the show Supernatural.
So.. I am attempting to make / dress a teddy bear to look like him. I've got the tee shirt, black. I ordered the Amulet he used to wear so that's done. Now I'm searching for tiny jeans, hiker boots and a jacket if possible. Trouble is his jacket is special and won't be easy to replicate. I've looked online but I think my best bet is to go to places like Walmart and Target and buy toddler shoes and jeans.
Once I get it done I'll take a picture and post it and one of Dean. Wish me luck gang cause I am NOT talented.

Re: A surprise for a friend
Wow, sounds like a great project! Can't wait to see the pictures. I didn't realize those bears were that big - I've only seen them online!
Babies-r-us has a HUGE assortment of completely outrageous clothes that might fit the bill. There might be a jacket there that would work. Hope you can find something!

Re: A surprise for a friend
Bec, have you checked out a Build-A-Bear shop?
http://www.buildabear.com/
They have bears, outfits, single clothing pieces, etc.
They have a leather jacket, jeans...all kinds of things on this site.
Not sure if the clothing is the right size, but it may be worth checking into.
this sounds like such a neat idea and I know your friend will love it!!! And you're a good friend to do this for her!

Re: A surprise for a friend
Thanks! I'll check out both. I did find some boots online but I'm going to keep looking and see if I can pick them up locally.

Re: A surprise for a friend
Ok I found the work boots and pants on Amazon.
I have a black tee already so he'll have a spare. Hopefully I can put it all together in a week or so. Oh, this is Dean from Supernatural.. the guy she likes

Yummm!
Good luck with finding the rest. Hope it all works out well. And I think it's a very nice idea to give her that kind of gift.

Re: A surprise for a friend
Thanks Queeny. I haven't found a jacket but that's ok. Dean always looked hot in a black Tee shirt. No luck on a tiny Impala either so I'm going to print a picture and make it a card.
If it all turns out good I'll post a picture. I am so not talented
