Ever wondered how to embroider a stripey nose for your bear?
I make my striped noses very simply. No templates, no glueing, no measuring. Just plain 'ol stitching and careful tensioning!
I always start in the centre and work out to the side ... then back to the centre and out to the other side. My noses require two layers of stitching. To make a stripey nose I simply use two separate coloured threads and two sewing needles and stitch one, then the other.

Alternatively, multi-coloured embroidery thread gives a great effect too!
This is a fun, simple way to give your bears even greater personality - go on, give it a go, you know you want to!
