Print the template (in the blog post) onto white paper and cut the pieces out.

Use a pencil to trace the bear's body and paws/arms onto your main bear color choice. Trace the inner ears, eyes, cheeks, muzzle, nose, hearts, and card onto appropriate colors. Cut all the pieces out with scissors.

Use a glue stick to attach the inner ears, muzzle, and cheeks.

Stick the eyes in place, and the nose on top of the muzzle. Use a black marker pen to draw on a mouth and eyebrows.

Place the paws on both sides of the bear with the round ends towards the middle of the body.

Holding them in place, carefully trim the overhanging edges to match the body outline. Stick the "shoulder" end of the arms in place with a dab of glue.

Fold the card in half and stick a heart on the front. Write a tiny note inside.

Slide the notecard under the bear paws and your card is complete!

You could make lots of different colored bears with different expressions and colored notes too!
