Why did he stick his neck out?

For the Elephant.
I adapted the teddy pattern to make the
elephant and then had to think hard how i was going to do
the trunk. But then i found a way to do it and was
very happy with how he turned out

And they fold flat

standing up (guess it is all part of learning how to
make them))

Story about a LITTLE TEDDY BEAR part 8 (slice form)

Follow on story from part one HERE , part 2 HERE
, part 3 HERE , part 4 HERE , part 5 HERE , part 6 HERE
and part 7 HERE

I had said in the part 6 that i would not have gone any
smaller with the bear as it would have made the slits to
small so what i did was went back and made the bear smaller
and then I made the slits normal size so as I could have a small
bear (how small?) he is 2 inches tall Hard to put together but
soo cute
Below is the picture beside the 8" bear the tallest i could
get on my baby cricut machine

Here you can see the arrange of sizes i have created

The big one is like a mummy bear holding his baby
