Stuffed and mounted bear’s head

Posted on Friday 11th April, 2008 by Shana in Craftwork, Knitting, Sewing

It’s not what you think!

This is a knitted bear’s head mounted to hang on the wall. I know it would have been easier to rip the head off a bear and mount it, but I’m not that cruel. Especially when we have a tribe of bears upstairs that might take revenge!

I’m thinking of doing another version with a less complicated head so I can knit more of them and personalise them for sale. This one took several days to complete, and thinking of how to mount it took almost as long again! In the end the head I mounted the head on art card covered with felt and sewn to a thin piece of wood that was also covered in felt. This enables fittings to be fixed safely to the wood for hanging; using card is also easier for making the neck hole than drilling through wood…and have you ever tried sewing onto a piece of wood?!
