step 1Get a Bear and Gut It

Find a bear that is approximately the size of your baby.

Gut it.

I decided that I wanted to put the zipper around the belly instead of straight down through it. So I opened the bear under the chin and unstuffed it from there.

I know the baby is wearing a red bow in the second feature picture, but it adds to the adorable factor that it looks like the Care Bear has bloody fangs-! ^^

Now, if only I could find a 6 foot tall Carebear doll.

Indeed.
I'm planning on a coat for myself that uses up all of the tiny care bears.
But maybe we need to come up with a pattern for the adult version of this!
We should get seamster in on this too. Right up his alley.

Back in high school I made a pair of pants out of stuffed animals (ala Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers). As far as the bear costume, you've inspired me and I've gotten some great ideas. If any of them actually pan out you can bet you'll be seeing them here! (Halloween Contest here I come)

This is so awesome. I think picture #5 is my favorite.

Yeah! She's sooooo expressive. I can make up an inner dialogue for every one of these photos.

I like picture #3 too where she's looking wryly at the camera.

Mar 20, 2010. 8:52 AMStoryAddict says:

And now she's just bleeding...way to make it more morbid :)

ROFL. I love the little bear crying next to the bag of "Care Bear Guts." While this ends up a very cute project, it is in fact very morbid.

That is horrifyingly cute...I can't look away...Its cute now but I wonder what the child will say in fifteen years?

It's always good to have blackmail material for a teenager.

I did this for my son Nathaniel with a regular teddy bear for Halloween 2007. I was a "baby" and he was my teddy bear.

If the baby CAN'T MOVE IN THE COSTUME then it shouldn't be a costume. Ugh. That's horrible. -__-

It is rather strange...to say the least.
