Bunney's Teddy Bear Friends 1 Tutorial 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. The pink teddy bear is the one we will be creating. 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!
