Build a Webcam Teddy Bear

Step 6Make and attach a cord pouch

Make and attach a cord pouch
The cable for the camera will run out through the hole that you made. If this bear is always staying on the desk, then leaving the cable free to dangle is fine. However, the person receiving the bear may want to treat it as a regular teddy bear as well and be able to take it with them or sleep with it, in which case the cord should be hidden when not in use.

You can make a rectangular pouch out of some spare cloth that you have lying about by cutting out a rectangular piece, folding it over, and sewing up two sides. I'm not going to go into detail about how to sew, as I'm not an expert at it.

Leave the cord hanging out of the bear while you sew the opening of the pouch to the edges of the hole you created earlier. Be sure to put the stuffing you took out earlier back into the bear before you completely close up the hole!

The loose cable can now be stuffed into the pouch when not in use. It is probably a good idea to sew part of the cable to the fabric of the bear so that pulling on it does not pull out the camera (strain relief).
