How to Make a Music Playing Teddy Bear

Looking to make a unique gift for a baby shower or child's birthday party? Can't find a stuffed animal in the store that plays the perfect song? Maybe your child's musical teddy bear quit working and needs the music button replaced. Here is a simple way to add music to a new or well loved stuffed animal making it unique and special with the song of your choice.

Things You'll Need

• Teddy bear
• Music button
• Sewing scissors
• Thread
• Needle

Instructions

1. 

   Purchase a music button from any craft store. A music button is generally 1 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch in size, and play a variety of songs.

2. Carefully undo a portion of the seam in the back of the teddy bear, using a small pair of sewing scissors. Make the opening just big enough for the music button to fit through.

3. Insert the music button into the bear. Use your fingers to work it in front of all of the stuffing, placing it in the center of the teddy bear's stomach.

4. Sew the teddy bear shut. Insert the needle on the inside of the opening, and pull it out through the material, so that the knot is inside the bear. Then, use a whip stitch all the way across.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that the thread you are using matches the color of your bear.
