- 1). Choose the texture materials you will be using for the bear. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use dried coffee grounds for the bear's body and crushed eggshell for contrast. Use your imagination and available materials to choose a texture of your own--for example, pencil shavings and sand.

Draw the outline of a bear's head onto a piece of sturdy cardboard (cut from a cereal box). Draw in the details of your bear's face--an oval for the mouth and nose area, and two small circles for the ears. Draw a smaller circle inside each ear. - 3
Draw an outline of the bear's body below the head. To do this, draw a large vertical oval, with four smaller circles to emulate paws. Draw a smaller oval inside the large oval to emulate the bear's belly. Cut out the outline of the bear. - 4). Apply the coffee grounds to create the texture of the cut-out bear's body. Work on one small section at a time. To do this, use a paint brush to cover a small section of the surface of the bear cutout, taking care to leave bare the smaller circles, such as the mouth, and ears. Sprinkle the coffee grounds to the glue-covered section. Once you are done, move on to the next section.
- 5). Keep working in similar small sections until you have covered the surface of the outer circles of the bear's ears, face, body and paws.
- 6). Now fill in the smaller circles according to the same method, but using the crushed egg shells. Glue a cotton ball, button or pompom for the bear's nose. Glue the wiggle eyes in place. Cut out a mouth shape from construction paper and glue it in place.
- 7). Allow the glue and textures to fully dry before you move the bear or attempt to hang it up.
