Little Wooden Bear

I did a really simple little arts and crafts project to past the time while I wait impatiently for my job hunting to hit a breakthrough.  While I was browsing the local Micheal's, I came across this little unfinished-wooden bear for only a couple of dollars.  I instantly bought it as I love animals and bought some ribbon, some wood markers (which can also be found at a craft store, they will be the most expensive item) and a little rose from one of the little scrapbook packets.  I painted him thoroughly with a dark colored wooden marker (except the stomach) and then let that dry.  I repeated that process with a lighter color just on his stomach.  While I let the stomach dry I took a permanent marker and made two eyes, colored in his nose and made a mouth.  After letting it dry over night, to make sure the marker had soaked through the wood, I made a little bow out of the ribbon I bought and hot glued it onto him and placed the rose in the center.  I let the hot glue cool and now I have a cute decoration for my bookcase... or for my desk in an office, should I hear a call back. This little guy cost under ten dollars.  [Reddit Post]
