Build a Webcam Teddy Bear

Step 2 De-brain the bear

In order to mount the camera inside the bear's head, we have to open it up first. I chose to make a cut at the back of the neck where my stitching wouldn't be too visible. It is best to try to split it open at the seams to avoid having extra stitching, but they are hard to find and get at because of the fur. I ended up with a hole that was almost but not quite on the seam. Make the hole big enough to fit your hand through.

Once you have a hole in the back of the head/neck, pull out all the stuffing from the head, and any other parts which make working with the bear difficult. Do not throw this away, as it will be going back in once the camera is attached inside. You need to be able to easily access the eye (or whatever part the camera will be looking through).
