Bunney's Teddy Bear Friends 3 Tutorial This is the bear we will be creating today.
This tutorial was created using PSP 7. The inspiration for these little guys came from some material I had purchased some time ago. I thought they where cute so I tried recreating them in PSP. If you would like to create the other bears shown above, you will find the links at the bottom of this tutorial. I hope you enjoy making these little guys as much as I have creating them for you!
