It’s said that the name comes from the nickname of U.S.

President Theodore Roosevelt.

Miniature bear made of chenille yarn

This is a small teddy bear about 5 centimeters tall made with chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Bend and roll the stems to form the bear shape.

Since areas like the base of the ears need to be firmly flattened, use pliers.

Pliers are also recommended when bending to avoid hurting your hands.

Once the bear is formed, make and attach the eyes, nose, and mouth using dedicated parts or thread.

If you enjoy detailed work, you could add paw pads to the feet or tie a ribbon around the neck.

Add a metal fitting and it could even be used as a keychain!

Make the parts for the face, body, arms, and legs, connect them while keeping natural transitions in mind, and attach the small parts to finish.

Pay close attention to details like the size of each part and the colors you use, and craft it with care.
